Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Fremont County, Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0508), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to fund a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Fremont County, Colorado.

The program is designed to support comprehensive early childhood services for low-income families, consistent with the broader Head Start mission of promoting school readiness through early learning, health, and family well-being supports.
The announcement indicates an annual funding level of $1,122,542, which is also listed as the estimated total funding and the maximum award amount (award ceiling). The award floor is listed as $0, and ACF expected to make one award in total, meaning applicants would be competing to become the Head Start grantee serving this specific county. The opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to plan for the non-federal share required under Head Start rules and demonstrate how that match would be met (for example, through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash, depending on the applicant's structure and resources).
Eligibility is broad within the community-serving landscape. ACF invited applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies operating in the community. The eligible applicant types listed include county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the notice makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly affirmed as eligible as long as they meet the standard eligibility requirements.
