It is funded through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start and the State Department of Health and Human Services. Grantees are expected to raise 20% of the cost of the program through local contributions of cash or in-kind goods and services. The federal program targets children living at or below the federal poverty rate but allows enrollment of children from other income levels under strict guidelines. At least 10% of children enrolled must have a diagnosed disability. The funded enrollment for the Head Start program is 224 children in center-based programs. Early Head Start is a program for infants and toddlers and is also funded through ACF. Child and Family Opportunities receives its Early Head Start funding in two ways; under a sub-contract with Penquis CAP, Inc., a community action agency in Bangor and through a contract with the State of Maine. Eligibility guidelines are the same as the Head Start program.

Reports and monitoring are made as required and necessary to assure compliance with grant requirements. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 Draft 990 is reviewed by the Executive Director and Finance Director. Final Draft is then presented to the Finance/Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and acceptance/approval acting on behalf of the Board. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The agency's governing body, management, all other personnel and volunteers are informed of CFO's policies concerning conflicts of interest contained in the Board By-Laws and CFO Personnel Policies during agency orientation. At that time, they also sign a Conflict of Interest Statement requiring disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest known at that time and immediate written disclosure should any potential conflict arise in the future. The policy is reviewed with all personnel and written compliance required on an annual basis. All management and governing board members have a responsibility to remain alert to detect any potential conflicts of interest and bring them to the attention of the human resouces manager or full board, respectively. Enforcement of policy should a conflict arise is handled utilizing Anti-Fraud policy procedures. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The Human Resource Manager and the Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors review compensation data at least every three years for comparable positions at organizations in the area. Specific data sources may include: > Specific market rate report for each position at a non-profit organization in Maine with a budget of approximately $5 million. > Wage comparability studies conducted by CFO and other regional Head Start agencies > Maine Association of Non-Profits Annual Wage Study - "Non-Profit Wages and Benefits in Northern New England" CFO seeks not to lead or lag the market but rather offer compensation at about the 50th percentile for similar organizations with an operating budget of $5 million. This approach allows CFO to compete for highly qualified individuals and still maintain salary costs within an affordable range.
