Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Portions of Waukesha and Washington Counties, Wisconsin," was a discretionary federal funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start. The purpose was to select one organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, as well as pregnant women and their families, specifically in portions of Waukesha and Washington Counties in Wisconsin. Early Head Start funding is intended to support high-quality early childhood and family support services that promote healthy development, strengthen parenting, and connect families to needed community resources, especially for households that meet income and other eligibility requirements under the Head Start program rules.
The announcement made available a total of $1,167,527 per year to support program operations, and it anticipated making a single award. The award amount was set at a fixed level for this competition, with the published award ceiling and award floor both listed as $1,167,527, indicating that the selected applicant would be funded at that annual level. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed as "Income Security and Social Services," reflecting the program's role in supporting low-income families and strengthening child and family well-being.
Eligibility was broad across many types of domestic entities, as long as they met federal requirements. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with certain distinctions), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, public housing authorities, units of local government (city/township and county governments), state governments, independent school districts, institutions of higher education (public and private), federally recognized tribal governments, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). The notice emphasized that faith-based organizations were eligible and encouraged them to review ACF policy governing grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this opportunity.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the grantee would be expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start program rules (often met through allowable in-kind contributions or other non-federal support, depending on the specific regulatory requirements in effect). Applicants were required to submit applications electronically by the deadline, with the stated cutoff time of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013, and it was archived on November 20, 2013.
