About the company
Community Development Institute Head Start, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Denver, Colorado, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants funding comprehensive early childhood education and family support services for low-income children and families, with 88 percent of its recent award footprint as a direct grant recipient and 12 percent as a sub-recipient of nutrition funding. The organization competes exclusively within the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) administered by the Office of Head Start under the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families.
Community Development Institute Head Start's grant portfolio centers on Head Start and Early Head Start programming delivered across multiple states including Colorado, Georgia, New York, Florida, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Services include educational instruction, health and nutritional support, social-emotional development programming, and family engagement initiatives designed to promote school readiness among infants, toddlers, three- and four-year-old children, and pregnant women. Representative prime grants include a $19.8 million five-year project grant awarded December 1, 2025, with completion in November 2030; a $14.55 million five-year award effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2030; a $7.62 million project grant effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2031; and a $4.498 million five-year award dated December 1, 2025, with completion in November 2030. These four awards alone represent approximately $45.9 million in recent grant funding. Each prime grant requires the organization to provide a 20 percent non-federal match and obligates Community Development Institute Head Start to meet federal performance standards related to school readiness outcomes, health and family well-being metrics, and federal compliance requirements.
The organization's activity has remained steady year over year across 2022 through 2026, with six awards in 2022, sixteen in 2023, thirteen in 2024, sixteen in 2025, and eleven through mid-2026. Eight awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete exposure. Community Development Institute Head Start also functions as a sub-recipient of Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) funding, receiving allocations from the Department of Education Indiana, the Michigan Department of Education, the Illinois State Board of Education, the Florida Department of Health, the Virginia State Board of Health, the Louisiana Department of Administration, and other state agencies to support meal services for enrolled children in its care centers and family day care homes. Sub-award activity has been consistent, with allocations flowing through state departments of education and health throughout 2021–2026. The organization operates a named subsidiary, Head Start Early Head Start Program Municipality Of Santa Isabel, classified as a local government entity.
