Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee - San Mateo County, California funding opportunity 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 the award is to fund organizations that can deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers, along with comprehensive supports for their families, specifically for eligible residents of San Mateo County, California. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to select one or more local providers that can operate an Early Head Start program in the county and meet the federal performance and program requirements tied to Head Start and Early Head Start.
The announcement makes up to $2,027,544 in annual funding available to support Early Head Start program services in the service area. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both listed as $2,027,544, and the award floor is $0, which generally indicates that the final award amount depends on the scope of the approved application and available funds. ACF anticipated making two awards under this funding opportunity, meaning the agency expected to select up to two grantees to deliver services in San Mateo County using the available funding.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that operate human services programs. Applicants may include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements, as well as certain for-profit agencies. Government entities are also eligible, including county governments, state governments, and city or township governments. In addition, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), independent school districts, and both public and private institutions of higher education are listed as eligible applicant types. At the same time, the announcement explicitly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this competition.
The grant falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's focus on strengthening family well-being and early childhood development. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee(s) would need to meet applicable non-federal share expectations associated with Head Start/Early Head Start funding. While the summary does not specify the percentage or the allowable sources for the match, applicants would typically be expected to plan for and document how they will meet that requirement in accordance with program rules.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0440 and an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
