About this award

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded The Leaguers, Inc. $51.794 million on February 1, 2026, under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) for a five-year period ending January 31, 2031.

The Leaguers, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Newark, New Jersey, delivers comprehensive early childhood education and family support services across Head Start and Early Head Start programming. Services address cognitive, physical, behavioral, and socio-emotional development through educational instruction, health and nutritional support, and family engagement for infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, and pregnant women in the Newark area. Work is performed in New Jersey.

The recipient is required to maintain a 20 percent non-federal match and meet federal performance standards tied to school readiness outcomes, health metrics, and family well-being. Awards are made for five-year periods; non-competing continuation awards depend on satisfactory progress, compliance with terms and conditions, and a determination that continuation funding is in the federal government's best interest. This award represents one of multiple Head Start grants the Leaguers has held since 2019, with prior obligations totaling over $46 million in active Head Start awards.
