Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a competitive grant opportunity to select a replacement provider for Early Head Start services in Washington County, Mississippi. The award is meant to keep Early Head Start services going in the community after the former grantee, the Hollandale School District, previously operated the program. In practical terms, ACF is looking for an organization that can step in and continue delivering comprehensive Early Head Start programming for eligible infants and toddlers and their families in the same service area, maintaining continuity of care and support.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with one expected award. Estimated total funding is $894,899 per year, and the award ceiling is also $894,899 (with an award floor listed as $0). The prior program served a funded enrollment of 80 infants, toddlers, and their families, and applicants are expected to propose services aligned with that scope unless the full announcement specifies otherwise. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's role in supporting early childhood development, family well-being, and access to needed services.
A wide range of applicant types can apply, including public and private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility rules), as well as for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and various government entities. Eligible applicants include independent school districts, city or township governments, county governments, state governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and both public and private institutions of higher education. The announcement also makes clear who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this funding opportunity.
The funding notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to document any required non-federal share as described in the full funding announcement. The original posting date is May 12, 2011, with the application closing date of July 12, 2011. For applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov, submissions had to be completed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is an important operational detail because late electronic submissions typically are not accepted.
For organizations interested in applying, ACF directed applicants to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. Those materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org.
