Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Norman, Polk, and Steele Counties, Minnesota" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0407), was offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant intended to fund a single awardee to deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers, along with supports for their families, specifically in Norman, Polk, and Steele Counties in Minnesota. The funding aligns with the federal Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) and falls under the broader activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
The opportunity made available an estimated total of $966,307 per year, with an award ceiling equal to that same amount and no stated minimum award floor. ACF anticipated making one award, meaning applicants were competing for a single, county-serving Early Head Start grant. Because Early Head Start focuses on children from birth to age three, the funded program would be expected to provide comprehensive early childhood development services and family supports for eligible families within the service area.
Eligible applicants were broadly defined and included both public and private entities. Eligible organizations listed included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state and county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in that specific category listing, though for-profits other than small businesses were also explicitly named as eligible). The announcement also emphasized that community-based and faith-based organizations could apply as long as they met eligibility requirements. At the same time, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the selected grantee would need to contribute non-federal resources as required by the program rules. This is an important planning point for applicants because it affects budgeting, fundraising, and partnership strategy, and it usually requires documenting allowable sources and ensuring they meet federal standards for match.
Key dates for the competition were also clearly specified. The opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) was July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically had to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was July 19, 2012, indicating the posting was no longer active after that point.
For applicants seeking more details about the program expectations or application process, ACF pointed to two main contacts. Program-related questions and additional information could be requested by emailing the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing the full announcement or issues related to the application submission process, applicants were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
