Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Cass County, North Dakota" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0444), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). It is a discretionary grant intended to fund one organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families who live in Cass County, North Dakota. The purpose is to expand or sustain high-quality early childhood and family support services for very young children, focusing on early development, family well-being, and school readiness foundations from the earliest years.
The available funding was listed as $796,119 per year, with an award ceiling of $796,119 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). ACF anticipated making a single award, meaning applicants would be competing for one grant to serve the designated community. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is described as Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Early Head Start's role in providing comprehensive supports that address both child development and family needs.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected grantee would be expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start requirements. While the announcement summary does not detail the percentage or the allowable forms of match, Head Start grants typically require grantees to document and track their non-federal share through cash or in-kind contributions, along with proper recordkeeping and valuation.
Eligible applicants were broadly defined to include many types of organizations and government entities capable of operating an Early Head Start program. This includes public and private nonprofits (including those with IRS 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and institutions of higher education (both public and state-controlled as well as private). Federally recognized Native American tribal governments were also listed as eligible. The announcement specifically states that faith-based and community-based organizations meeting eligibility requirements may apply, reinforcing that awards are based on program capacity and compliance rather than organizational affiliation.
The notice also clarifies who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. This restriction reflects the operational scale and compliance demands of Early Head Start, which typically require an established organizational structure, fiscal controls, and the ability to meet federal performance standards.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application deadline of July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically had to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing was archived on July 19, 2012, indicating the competition closed after that deadline. For applicants seeking help with accessing the announcement or technical submission issues, the ACF Applications Help Desk was provided (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). For program-related questions or additional operational information, interested parties were encouraged to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
Overall, this funding opportunity was a competitive solicitation to identify one qualified provider to deliver comprehensive Early Head Start services in Cass County, North Dakota, supported by an annual federal award of $796,119, with matching requirements and eligibility open to a wide range of public, private nonprofit, and certain for-profit entities that could meet federal Head Start program expectations.
