Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Communities within Pulaski and Garland Counties, Arkansas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0766), was a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose of the award was to select a single organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and their families living in designated communities within Pulaski and Garland Counties in Arkansas. In practical terms, the grant was intended to fund comprehensive early childhood and family support services for very young children and expectant families, consistent with Early Head Start program requirements.
The available funding was $1,338,272 per year, and the announcement indicates an award ceiling and floor set at the same amount ($1,338,272), meaning the expected single award was essentially fixed at that annual level. ACF anticipated making one award total. The activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting that Early Head Start is not only an early learning initiative but also a broader family and child well-being program that typically integrates child development services with health, mental health, nutrition, family engagement, and supportive services for parents and caregivers.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of entities that could serve as an Early Head Start grantee, such as public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and for-profit agencies. Governments and public entities were also eligible, including county governments, state governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and both private and public institutions of higher education. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from eligibility. Faith-based organizations were specifically noted as eligible and were encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project costs in accordance with Head Start/Early Head Start matching rules and the terms described in the full announcement. The funding instrument type was a grant (not a contract), which generally indicates the awardee would have programmatic responsibility to meet federal performance standards and reporting requirements while retaining operational control over day-to-day implementation.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was November 20, 2013, indicating the competition is no longer open.
For prospective applicants at the time, additional program-specific information could be requested from the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing the full announcement or submitting an application, ACF directed applicants to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
