Planning for a Successful Change in Scope Request

The Information Memorandum titled Enrollment Reductions and Conversion of Head Start Slots to Early Head Start Slots (ACF-IM-HS-22-09) provides guidance for grantees considering a change in scope request.

Foundations for Families assisted with a Community Assessment and DRS Grant Writing
I highly recommend FFF for any grantee. The services you provided were beyond what I could have imagined as a new program director.
If I can use adjectives to describe your company it would be…transparent, positive, encouraging, experts, and efficient.
Foundations for Families assisted with a Community Assessment
FFF did an outstanding job working with our program. The staff that recommended using the company after she attended a conference had the inclination that this company would be a great mesh for our organization to work together.
FFF was very timely, responsive to the need of the program, and professional. I would recommend other organizations use FFF.
Foundations for Families assisted with a community assessment
I appreciated the collaborative process. The project was not taken over by Foundation for Families but rather the expectation was we would work together.
All of the components were useful and valuable. Nothing “wasted” my time.
I love working with your organization. Your staff are so respectful and polite – they are a joy!
