The Mcintosh Trail Early Childhood Development Council, Inc.

The Mcintosh Trail Early Childhood Development Council, Inc. is a non-profit organization that has been registered to receive federal grant awards since March 25, 2009. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization primarily engages in providing early childhood education and development services through federally funded programs. The Council specializes in delivering comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to promote school readiness and enhance the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional development of children from low-income families. These services are primarily funded through the Head Start and Early Head Start programs, which are administered by the Office of Head Start within the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families.

The organization has received multiple federal grant awards to support its mission. Most recently, on March 1, 2024, the Council was awarded a $1,466,678 Project Grant to expand its Early Head Start services in Georgia over a five-year period. This grant (04HP000526) will run through February 28, 2029, and aims to enhance the organization's capacity to serve more children and families in need. Previously, the Council received funding through the American Rescue Plan (grant 04HE000363) from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2023, to address challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, a significant five-year Project Grant (04CH011797) was awarded on August 1, 2020, set to conclude on July 31, 2025, to support both Head Start and Early Head Start programs. These grants collectively demonstrate the Council's ongoing commitment to providing critical early childhood services and its ability to secure consistent federal funding to support its operations and expand its reach within the community.
