Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Cities of Apalachicola, Southport, and Panama City, Florida" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R04 0374), is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The goal is to select an organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers and their families living specifically within the cities of Apalachicola, Southport, and Panama City, Florida. Early Head Start is designed to support very young children and their caregivers through comprehensive early learning, health, and family support services, so the selected grantee would be expected to deliver a full Early Head Start program in line with federal Head Start requirements.
ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,441,150 per year. The award ceiling is listed as $2,441,150 and the award floor is $0, meaning proposals can request up to the full amount available, and lower requests are technically allowable depending on the applicant's proposed scope and service design. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the applicant should be prepared to document and meet whatever non-federal share is required under Head Start rules (commonly referred to as the "match"), using allowable sources and proper valuation and recordkeeping.
The grant uses the standard "Grant" funding instrument type and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The relevant CFDA listing is 93.600 (Head Start), which is the federal program identifier applicants and auditors often use for compliance, reporting, and grants management purposes. As a practical matter, applicants should expect that the award will come with substantial program, fiscal, and performance reporting obligations typical of Head Start and Early Head Start funding, including requirements tied to child eligibility, program governance, ongoing monitoring, and the delivery of comprehensive services.
Eligibility is broad and includes a mix of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education), community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements. Various government entities are also eligible, including city or township governments, county governments, state governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. In addition, certain for-profit organizations are eligible, including for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses are also listed among eligible applicants. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education are listed as eligible as well. The announcement is clear about exclusions: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this opportunity.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited competition. The opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an application due date of July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
