Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee - Lincoln County, Kentucky funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0383) 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 Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). Its purpose is to select one grantee to deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers, along with support services for their families, specifically for eligible residents of Lincoln County, Kentucky. The funding is intended to strengthen early development and family well-being by supporting comprehensive early childhood programming for children from birth to age three.
ACF anticipated making one award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $471,118. The award ceiling is also listed as $471,118, indicating the full amount available for the selected applicant, while the award floor is $0 (meaning no minimum award amount is guaranteed beyond what is ultimately approved). The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, which matches the broader federal classification used for programs that deliver social supports and family services. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to plan for meeting any non-federal share expectations described in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types that operate in or serve the local community. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet federal requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are listed separately, but small businesses also appear among eligible entities). Government entities such as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments may apply, as can independent school districts and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Institutions of higher education, both private and public/state-controlled, are also listed as eligible. The announcement specifically excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity.
The posting date for the opportunity was May 16, 2012, and the original and current closing date was August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, which typically indicates the submission window has closed and the listing is kept for recordkeeping and reference rather than for new submissions.
For applicants seeking more details about program expectations or the local Early Head Start service approach, the announcement directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
