Federal Grant Award Summary

Round Valley Indian Tribes received a $400,885 Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start, under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The award was made on January 1, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2030, representing a five-year funding cycle. Through this AIAN (American Indian and Alaska Native) Head Start award, the tribe will deliver comprehensive early childhood education and family support services designed to promote school readiness among low-income children. Services encompass educational, health, nutritional, social, and other services tailored to the local needs of the Round Valley Indian Tribes community.

The Head Start program operates through local agencies that serve children from birth to compulsory school age, with particular emphasis on preschool-age children (3 and 4 years old) as well as Early Head Start services for infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. Round Valley Indian Tribes, a federally recognized tribe with an established history of managing federal grants for community development and social services, will implement these services while engaging parents as core partners in the delivery model. The tribe is required to provide a 20 percent non-federal match to support the program and must meet federal performance standards related to school readiness outcomes, health and family well-being metrics, and compliance with federal requirements.
