Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Tippecanoe County, Indiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0414), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant focused on Income Security and Social Services under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose is to fund a single organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, along with comprehensive supports for their families, specifically within Tippecanoe County, Indiana.
ACF made approximately $1,053,077 available each year for this award, with an award ceiling equal to that same amount and no stated minimum award floor. The announcement anticipated one award in total, meaning applicants were competing for a single grantee slot to deliver Early Head Start programming in the county. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the eventual grantee would be expected to meet the Head Start non-federal share expectations consistent with program rules (the announcement flags that matching is required, so applicants needed to be prepared to document how they would meet it).
Eligibility was broad across government, education, nonprofit, and private-sector entities, as long as they were organizational applicants rather than individuals. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), small businesses and other for-profit organizations (not limited to small businesses), county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, state governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Faith-based and community organizations were explicitly stated as eligible if they met the standard requirements. At the same time, the notice clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this announcement.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, and it closed on July 18, 2012, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.

Applicants were directed to submit applications electronically by the deadline, and the opportunity provided support contacts for both program and technical questions. For additional program-specific information, interested applicants could contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For help accessing the full announcement or handling submission issues, applicants were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
