Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Martin County, Florida" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0331), is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The goal is to select one organization to operate Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers, along with supports for their families, specifically serving eligible residents of Martin County, Florida. The award is designed to fund comprehensive early childhood services that align with Early Head Start program requirements, which generally emphasize child development, health, family well-being, and school readiness foundations beginning in the earliest years.
ACF expects to make one award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $464,614. The award ceiling is also listed as $464,614, indicating the selected applicant would typically receive up to that amount each year to deliver services, while the award floor is listed as $0. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the grantee will be expected to meet non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules, rather than relying entirely on federal dollars for total program costs.
Eligibility is broad across multiple types of entities, as long as they meet the program and grant requirements. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations, and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). Government entities such as state, county, and city/township governments may apply, as can independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community organizations are eligible if they meet requirements. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this announcement.
