Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a competitive grant opportunity for organizations that want to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Davidson County, Tennessee. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth through age five and their families. Applicants can propose (1) a combined program using both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, (2) Head Start only, or (3) Early Head Start only, as long as services are delivered within the Davidson County service area and meet all applicable Head Start Act requirements and program standards.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with an estimated total of $12,167,540 available annually for this service area. ACF anticipated making up to three awards. Individual awards could range from $500,000 (award floor) up to $12,167,540 (award ceiling), depending on the scope of the proposed services and the final funding decisions. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources in line with Head Start matching rules and any specifics outlined in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For Head Start only or a combined Head Start/Early Head Start application, eligible applicants are limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies, as permitted under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act, that can provide Head Start services in the service area. These applicants must be able to demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit organization (including faith-based groups) 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 already operating Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start programs as well. Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not allowed and would be disqualified.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0860, posted September 24, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014.
