Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to fund organizations that can operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for families living in Andrew, Buchanan, Clinton, and DeKalb Counties in Missouri. The purpose is to ensure eligible children and families in this service area have access to high-quality, comprehensive early childhood services, either through a combined birth-to-five approach that blends Head Start and Early Head Start, or through a program that offers Head Start only or Early Head Start only.
The funding available under this announcement is approximately $3,417,236 per year. The government anticipated making up to two awards. While the total estimated funding and the maximum award amount are both listed as $3,417,236, the opportunity also notes an award floor of $500,000, meaning applicants could propose smaller projects depending on the service approach and scope, as long as they meet the requirements in the full funding opportunity announcement. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to document non-federal contributions as required by Head Start rules and the specifics in the announcement.
Eligibility depends on what type of program an applicant is proposing. For applicants seeking to operate Head Start only, or to operate both Head Start and Early Head Start together, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies that can provide Head Start services within the service area and can meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act (Section 641(a)(1)). For applicants proposing Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations that already operate Head Start programs are explicitly allowed to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified.
The application timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted on September 25, 2014, with an application due date of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing shows an archive date of December 24, 2014, which generally indicates the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference for similar future Head Start competitions or for understanding the structure of ACF funding notices.
For applicants looking for more information, the notice directs interested parties to email the Office of Head Start Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing or submitting the application, the contact listed is the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
