Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Auglaize, Champaign, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Preble, Shelby, and Van Wert Counties, Ohio," is a discretionary federal funding competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to award funding to one or more organizations that will operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families living across the nine listed counties in Ohio. Early Head Start is designed to support very young children and their families with comprehensive early childhood development services, typically focusing on promoting school readiness and healthy development through high-quality early learning, family support, and coordinated health and social services.
ACF is seeking applications from a broad range of potential providers that are capable of delivering these services at the community level. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, and for-profit agencies. Government entities such as state, county, city, or township governments may apply, as can federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Certain education-related entities are also listed as eligible, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and independent school districts. The announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this opportunity. The activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the funding is provided through a grant instrument.
The funding level identified in the announcement is $3,312,406 annually to support Early Head Start program services in the designated service area. The estimated total funding and the stated award ceiling both match this annual amount, indicating the program expects awards up to that figure, with an award floor listed as $0. ACF anticipated making two awards under this opportunity (ExpectedAwards: 2), suggesting the agency may split service delivery across more than one grantee or otherwise fund multiple providers to cover the region effectively. The program falls under the Head Start CFDA number 93.600, and there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee(s) should expect to contribute non-federal resources or meet other matching expectations as defined in the full funding announcement and applicable Head Start regulations and policy guidance.
Key dates for the competition are also provided. The opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, and the original and current closing date was August 14, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating the posting is historical and no longer open for submissions, though the details remain useful for understanding how ACF structured the competition and what kinds of applicants and services were targeted in that funding cycle.
