Toolkit

The Restart Ahead Fiscal Toolkit

Coming soon: practical, ready-to-use tools for Head Start fiscal leaders.

Built for the work you're reviewed on

Struggled to find fiscal tools that actually fit your program? Most aren't built with Head Start's real-world needs in mind. The Restart Ahead Fiscal Toolkit is designed specifically for Head Start fiscal managers, to save time and support compliance in the areas reviewers look at most closely.

What's in the core toolkit

Cost allocation tools

Templates, calculators, and example language to build or update a cost allocation plan based on the relative benefit each program receives (2 CFR 200.405), with documented bases for shared costs like rent, executive time, IT, equipment, and facilities.

Budget tools

Templates and calculation sheets to help you structure your budget and write clear supporting narratives.

Non-federal share tools

Templates and checklists for tracking and documenting your non-federal share.

Administrative cost tools

A calculator and checklist to help you check your administrative costs against the limit.

Every tool is a digital download you can use right away: spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets), document templates (Word/Google Docs), and PDF guides.

What makes it different

• Built from real Head Start fiscal experience, not generic nonprofit templates

• Practical and ready to use, so you're not starting from scratch

• Grounded in the requirements programs are reviewed on

Pricing

Launch pricing goes to waitlist members first. The toolkit will be a one-time purchase, with individual modules available separately. Join the waitlist to be notified as soon as it's ready.

Coming later

We plan to add focused modules over time, along with optional updates as guidance changes. Waitlist members will hear about new tools first.
