Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Replacement Grantee - Bamberg County, South Carolina" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0248), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). It is a discretionary grant competition intended to select one organization to take over and continue Early Head Start services in Bamberg County, South Carolina, following the prior work of the former provider, Voorhees College Early Head Start. The overall purpose is continuity of services for eligible infants, toddlers, and their families in the county, rather than launching a brand-new program model from scratch.
ACF indicated that approximately $527,619 per year would be available for the selected replacement grantee, with an award ceiling of $527,619 and an award floor listed as $0. The former grantee operated at a funded enrollment level of 45 infants and toddlers and their families, which serves as the reference point for the expected scale of services under the replacement award. Only one award was expected to be made, meaning applicants were competing for a single grant to serve the entire designated service area.
A wide range of entities were eligible to apply, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations that meet the program requirements, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and various government or public entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education. At the same time, certain applicants were explicitly excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement. The opportunity also noted a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants needed to be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start grant rules.
The application timeline shows the opportunity was posted on May 12, 2011, with an application due date of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, ACF emphasized a strict electronic submission deadline of no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The announcement was later archived on December 23, 2011. Applicants were directed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591, and the same materials were also made available through www.headstartgrants.org. For technical difficulty accessing the full announcement, ACF provided the Applications Help Desk contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
In practical terms, this funding opportunity was designed to ensure that Early Head Start services for very young children and their families in Bamberg County did not lapse due to the transition away from the prior grantee. Applicants were expected to demonstrate the capacity to operate Early Head Start in alignment with federal Head Start requirements while sustaining service levels comparable to the previously funded enrollment and meeting all grant administration expectations tied to ACF discretionary awards.
