Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), invites organizations to compete to become the Early Head Start grantee serving a multi-county region in Tennessee: Bedford, Coffee, Franklin, Giles, Hickman, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Marshall, Maury, Moore, Perry, and Wayne Counties. The purpose is to fund the delivery of Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers and to support their families through comprehensive early childhood and family-focused programming. The opportunity is a discretionary grant under the income security and social services category, and it is tied to the Head Start program CFDA number 93.600.
ACF anticipates making one award, with an estimated annual funding level of $581,166. The award ceiling is also $581,166, meaning the total annual amount available for the selected grantee is capped at that figure, while the award floor is listed as $0. The funding is intended to operate an Early Head Start program in the named Tennessee counties, which typically means providing developmentally appropriate early learning services for children from birth to age three, along with health, nutrition, and family support components that are standard in Early Head Start programming. In practical terms, applicants are expected to demonstrate how they will reach eligible families in the service area and deliver high-quality, comprehensive services consistent with federal Head Start and Early Head Start requirements.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include public entities such as county, city or township, and state governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); and federally recognized tribal governments. Private entities may also apply, including nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), other nonprofits, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), and small businesses. The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements. At the same time, certain applicants are excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The listing also indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet any non-federal share expectations described in the full funding announcement.
Key timing details in the source data show the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application due date of August 14, 2012. Applications submitted electronically had to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, which generally indicates the competition window has closed, but the summary still reflects the official parameters of the funding round as published.
