Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity to run Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Dakota County, Nebraska. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five program. Applicants can propose one integrated program that includes both Head Start and Early Head Start, or they can apply to provide only Head Start or only Early Head Start, as long as they can deliver services across the specified service area and meet the statutory requirements under the Head Start Act.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0926 under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). ACF expects to make a single award (one grant) for this service area. The annual amount available is $1,010,039, and the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $1,010,039, which typically signals a fixed annual funding level for the selected grantee. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document and support the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and the specific instructions in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether the applicant is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For Head Start-only applications, or combined Head Start and Early Head Start applications, eligible applicants are limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies in the service area that can provide Head Start services and that can demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency (as defined in the Head Start Act, Section 641(a)(1)). For Early Head Start-only applications, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency in the service area may apply under Section 645A(d), and current Head Start operators are also eligible to operate Early Head Start. Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not allowed and will be disqualified.
The application was originally posted September 25, 2014, with an application due date of November 24, 2014. Electronic applications had to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived December 24, 2014, meaning it is not currently open, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope, funding level, and eligibility framework for similar Head Start service-area competitions.
