Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a discretionary grant competition to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in York County, Pennsylvania.

The estimated total available funding is $3,351,697 per year, and the listed award ceiling is also $3,351,697 (with an award floor of $0). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning awardees are expected to contribute non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include local public or private entities and certain for-profit organizations operating within the community. Examples listed include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, city/township and county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, and businesses (including small businesses and other for-profit organizations).
