Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), seeks applicants to become the Head Start and/or Early Head Start grantee serving Chatham and Effingham Counties in Georgia. The goal is to fund organizations that can deliver a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program for eligible children and their families. Applicants may propose to operate a combined program that includes both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they may apply to run Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and the eligibility rules that apply to each program type.
The announcement is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0683) under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), with an expected two awards. ACF makes approximately $6,364,738 available each year for services in the two-county service area, with an award ceiling of $6,364,738 and an award floor of $500,000. The funding category is Income Security and Social Services, and the award instrument is a grant. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet required non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules described in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an entity is applying for Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For applicants seeking to operate Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to provide Head Start services to children and families in Chatham and Effingham Counties and must demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For applicants seeking to operate Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community 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 already operating Head Start programs are also eligible to operate Early Head Start.
A wide range of applicant types are listed as eligible, including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, city/county/state governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, institutions of higher education (public or private), and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), as well as small businesses where applicable to the notice. However, the announcement specifically notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards. Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet program requirements, and they are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance related to grants to faith-based organizations.
The opportunity was posted on July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
