Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to operate an Early Head Start program serving the South Bronx area of New York. The grant is meant to support comprehensive early childhood and family services for infants and toddlers, as well as services for pregnant women and their families, consistent with the Early Head Start model under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The goal is to fund a single organization to deliver high-quality, community-based early learning, health, and family support services for eligible low-income families living in the South Bronx.
The award is structured as a discretionary grant, with one expected award and an annual funding amount of $806,738. The funding level is fixed for this competition, with the award ceiling and floor both listed at $806,738, meaning applicants should plan around that specific annual amount. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected grantee will need to meet the non-federal share expectations associated with Head Start/Early Head Start awards, rather than relying solely on federal dollars.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and governments. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, and small businesses are also listed separately as eligible), institutions of higher education (public and private), and a range of government entities such as city/township governments, county governments, state governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. Community-based and faith-based organizations are explicitly stated as eligible as long as they meet the program and grant requirements, with ACF pointing faith-based applicants to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
