Head Start federal funding in FY2025

Head Start and FY2025 as a USAspending pair

Head Start in FY2025 obligated $7,963,905,076.49 on USAspending.gov. Keep both keys in the citation: the CFDA title Head Start and the fiscal year 2025. 10.7% of $74,374,162,611.85 is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. The CFDA title is HEAD START. Early Head Start versus Head Start, and migrant versus American Indian/Alaska Native lines, are unpublished here.

Read /programs/93.600/ (CFDA 93.600) for the program rollup, /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year rollup, /programs/ (All programs) for every CFDA hub, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Do not add those pages into $7,963,905,076.49. Recipients are unpublished. Nine hundred thirty-nine FY2025 awards is not 939 unique grantees. Continuation and modification instruments add rows.

Program coding for Head Start

USAspending labels CFDA 93.600 as Head Start. That code produced $7,963,905,076.49 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The program-wide hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require this CFDA. Only this tie applies both filters. The CFDA title is HEAD START. Early Head Start versus Head Start, and migrant versus American Indian/Alaska Native lines, are unpublished here. FY2025 figures can still move in later USAspending ingests.

The program extract-wide obligation total is $74,374,162,611.85 across 5,258 award records. FY2025 is 10.7% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for CFDA 93.600 are separate cells. Do not fold /programs/ into this join as if every CFDA were this one. Keep 93.600.

FY2025 Head Start rows can still be incomplete

FY2025 on USAspending.gov is a federal fiscal year, not a calendar year and not a state fiscal year. $7,963,905,076.49 is the Head Start slice of that year in this extract, not the government-wide FY2025 total. FY2025 figures can still move in later USAspending ingests. Prefer /fiscal-years/2025/ if the live year table moved. Outlays are unpublished.

An obligation is a legal commitment recorded on an award. An outlay is a payment from the Treasury. $7,963,905,076.49 is the former for Head Start in FY2025. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This page reports $7,963,905,076.49 as given.

939 FY2025 awards are not 939 Head Start grantees

939 is the FY2025 award-record count published on this pair. 5,258 is the program-extract award-record count across years. Dividing $7,963,905,076.49 by 5,258 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical award. Unique recipients are unpublished. Nine hundred thirty-nine FY2025 awards is not 939 unique grantees. Continuation and modification instruments add rows.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

Budget justifications, program evaluation reports, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes child-care block grants, a state preschool table, or a named-grantee list with CFDA 93.600 in FY2025, the chart has left this join. Grantee names, centers, and enrollment counts are unpublished on this packet.

Keep the citation narrow: CFDA 93.600 and fiscal year 2025 on USAspending.gov, obligations only, with no invented recipients. Grantee names, centers, and enrollment counts are unpublished on this packet.

Head Start in FY2025 is a pair, not a ranking of programs and not a ranking of fiscal years. Later bulk files can move the dollars; prefer the live CFDA 93.600 hub and the FY2025 hub when this snapshot and the live tables diverge.
