Discussion:
Lauren Starke, Head Start Fiscal Officer, reviewed the definition, dollar amounts, and goals regarding Head Start In-Kind. In-Kind is any donation of time, services or materials that benefit Head Start children and could be paid for with grant funds. The federal government provides 80% of our funding. The other 20% is funded through In-Kind. To meet the goal, classroom activities such as activity calendars, reading calendars, individual volunteer forms, and non-federal share donation forms are used. Outside the classroom, board members, policy council and partnerships help meet the goal.
