Funding Opportunities

Head Start grants are awarded directly to public or private non-profit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, or for-profit agencies within a community that wish to compete for funds, are eligible to apply for Head Start funding. The same categories of organizations are eligible to apply for Early Head Start, except that applicants need not be from the community they will be serving.

All OHS funding opportunities are available on the ACF Funding Opportunity Announcements website, and can be found by searching CFDA Number 93.600 on Grants.gov.
