Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to serve as the Head Start grantee for Pinellas County, Florida. The purpose is to fund comprehensive Head Start services for eligible children and their families in the county, consistent with Head Start program requirements and performance standards. The announcement makes clear that ACF is seeking providers rooted in the local community, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as other qualified entities that can operate a full Head Start program.

The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both $12,148,092, while the award floor is $0, reflecting that award size can depend on the approved application and scope of services, up to the maximum amount available. ACF anticipated making up to three awards under this opportunity, which signals that services could potentially be split among multiple providers or otherwise structured to best meet community needs.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private organizations.
