Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Washington, District of Columbia" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0680), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant opportunity in the program area of Income Security and Social Services, associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose of the grant is to fund organizations that will deliver Early Head Start services in Washington, DC, specifically serving eligible infants and toddlers, pregnant women, and their families. In practical terms, the award supports comprehensive early childhood and family support programming designed to promote healthy development for very young children while also addressing family needs through early learning, health, and family well-being services.
ACF made approximately $2,260,474 available per year for this effort, with an award ceiling of $2,260,474 and an award floor of $500,000. The announcement anticipated making two awards, meaning the available funding would likely be split among multiple providers to serve the target population across Washington, DC. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to plan for and document the non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and grant conditions.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants included state, county, and local governments; city or township governments; public and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than higher education institutions). The opportunity was also open to small businesses and for-profit organizations (including for-profits other than small businesses). Community-based and faith-based organizations were explicitly eligible as long as they met the standard requirements, and faith-based applicants were directed to ACF policy guidance regarding grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The notice was later archived on November 20, 2013, indicating it is no longer open for competition. For organizations that, at the time, needed more information about the program competition, ACF directed inquiries to the Office of Head Start Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or submitting materials, applicants were instructed to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
