Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee -- Communities in the state of Wisconsin" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R05 1894), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). The funding is intended to support organizations that will operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs serving eligible children and families in Wisconsin. The opportunity is designed for entities that can directly deliver comprehensive early childhood services, which typically include early learning, health and developmental screenings, family support, and related services that align with Head Start Program Performance Standards.

The competition is open to a wide range of applicant types, reflecting the program's community-based delivery model. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. Faith-based and other community-based organizations are explicitly included in the description as potential applicants, indicating that the federal government is seeking capable local providers regardless of whether they are public agencies, nonprofits, or private operators, as long as they meet program requirements and can demonstrate capacity to deliver high-quality Head Start and/or Early Head Start services.

The notice indicates that funding may be available in one individually defined service area within Wisconsin, with the important caveat that service areas may change up until the official funding opportunity announcement is published. In other words, the geographic scope is tied to specific service areas defined by OHS, and applicants should be prepared for the possibility that the exact boundaries or targeted communities could be updated before final publication.

From a funding and awards standpoint, the listed award ceiling is $3,323,801, and the opportunity anticipates making 2 awards. While the ceiling provides a sense of the maximum expected funding level, actual award amounts and final service area details typically depend on the finalized announcement and the needs of the community served, as well as OHS determinations.
