The opportunity is intended to fund comprehensive early childhood programming, meaning applicants are expected to deliver the full Head Start and/or Early Head Start model of services for enrolled children and their families within the defined service area.

This funding opportunity is listed as "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee -- Hamilton and Marion Counties, Indiana" under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-1657, and it falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding instrument is a federal grant.

The annual funding available for the Hamilton and Marion Counties service area is $17,037,389, which also serves as the listed award ceiling. These funds are intended to support the operation of Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services, which generally include early learning and development, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement and support, services for children with disabilities, and related program requirements that are standard to Head Start and Early Head Start grants.

Eligibility to apply is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the capacity to administer federal early childhood programs. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in that category); for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); and small businesses.
