What it reported doing in 2024

Head start program funds are used to achieve mission by supporting and enhancing the nurturing skills of parents, preparing children to start public schools ready to learn, and providing children with the health care they need, with examinations, treatment, immunizations and nutritious meals. Head start program received donated services and facilities of 104,231 during the fiscal year. The head start grants require a 20% matching for the head start program. The largest portion of this match is obtained through in-kind goods and services. These goods and services are value and recorded at the prevailing wage rate for donated services and at the estimated fair market value for goods. Inkind goods and services received during the fiscal year totaled 139,200.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 62% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
