From the meeting
MARC planned to apply to the Administration for Children and Families for a waiver of the remaining Head Start non-federal match. The gap was $3,327,764 on a required $8,281,348 match for the grant ending October 31, 2026. The waiver would only be submitted if MARC cannot identify enough additional in-kind support before the grant ends.
This is a live grant funding issue tied to the next federal decision.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Mid-America Regional Council's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
