Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Orange County, Virginia 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). The purpose of this funding is to select one organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) and their families who live in Orange County, VA. In practice, this means delivering comprehensive early childhood and family support services consistent with Early Head Start requirements, which typically include early learning and development supports, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement and parenting supports, and coordination with community resources so families can access needed services.
The funding available is listed at $512,435 per year, and the opportunity anticipates making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $512,435 and an award floor of $0. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee should expect to contribute a non-federal share as required by Head Start law and policy (often met through allowable cash or in-kind contributions, depending on program rules). This requirement is important for applicants to plan for early, since documenting and sustaining match can be a significant part of operating an Early Head Start program.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of governmental and nongovernmental entities that can credibly operate an Early Head Start program. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet the requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, but small businesses are also listed as eligible in the opportunity data). Government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments may also apply. Institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled) are included as eligible as well. The announcement explicitly notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited competition: it was posted May 16, 2012, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012. For applicants at the time, this would have meant preparing a full federal grant application package by the deadline and ensuring submission through the required electronic system before the cutoff time.
