Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee - Kentucky," is a discretionary federal funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services for eligible children and families living in a defined set of Kentucky counties: Bourbon, Casey, Christian, Daviess, Fayette, Harrison, Logan, Madison, Pulaski, and Warren. The program focus is on delivering comprehensive Head Start services tailored to the needs of migrant and seasonal farmworker families, which typically includes early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and other wraparound components required under Head Start performance standards.
The available funding listed for this competition is $2,912,633 per year, which represents the estimated total annual amount intended to support MSHS services across the service area. The announcement anticipates making up to two awards. The funding range indicates a minimum (award floor) of $500,000 and a maximum (award ceiling) of $2,912,633, suggesting ACF may fund either one large provider or multiple providers dividing coverage, depending on the applications received and the service delivery approach proposed. The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 93.600, Head Start, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee(s) should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources in the form and amount required under Head Start rules and the specific notice of funding opportunity.

At the same time, the notice makes clear that individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible; applications from those applicants would be disqualified from competitive review and would not be considered for funding.
