Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive Head Start grant announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Geary County, Kansas. The award is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services typically associated with Head Start, including early learning and development, family engagement, and related supports that help prepare young children from low-income households for school and strengthen overall family well-being. The funding is offered as a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls within the broad federal activity area of Income Security and Social Services.
ACF anticipates making one award with an annual funding amount of $1,400,851. The funding notice lists the award ceiling and floor as the same figure ($1,400,851), signaling that the agency expects applicants to propose a program plan aligned to that annual amount rather than a range of possible budgets. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the successful applicant will need to meet Head Start non-federal share expectations as part of the overall project financing approach.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of entity types that can operate community-based early childhood programs, such as nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community-based groups), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), public and tribal governments, school districts, public housing authorities, and public or private institutions of higher education. However, individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are explicitly ineligible and would be disqualified from review. The announcement emphasizes that services must be targeted to children and families residing in Geary County, Kansas, which is the defined service area for this competition.
