Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start and/or Early Head Start Grantee - El Dorado County, California" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0758), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant designed to fund organizations that can deliver high-quality early childhood services for eligible children and families in El Dorado County, California. The program focus is comprehensive birth-to-five services, meaning applicants may propose a blended approach that includes both Head Start (generally serving preschool-age children) and Early Head Start (serving infants, toddlers, and pregnant people), or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only within the county.
The announcement makes up to $4,106,619 available each year to support service delivery, with an award ceiling equal to the full amount and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making two awards under this competition. The funding 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 would need to plan for meeting non-federal share expectations as described in the full funding opportunity announcement and Head Start regulations.
A wide range of applicant types are listed as potentially eligible in general grants.gov terms, including nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations, small businesses, institutions of higher education, and various units of government (state, county, city/township, independent school districts), as well as federally recognized tribal governments and public housing authorities. However, the notice emphasizes that actual eligibility depends on whether an applicant is seeking Head Start, Early Head Start, or a combined Head Start/Early Head Start award, and applicants must meet the statutory designation requirements in the Head Start Act for the option they are pursuing.
For applicants proposing 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 (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must be able to provide Head Start services to children and families residing in El Dorado County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start agency and/or Early Head Start agency, as applicable. For applicants proposing 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 (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), as long as they can deliver Early Head Start services within the service area. The notice also clarifies that organizations already operating Head Start programs may apply to operate Early Head Start, reinforcing the idea that existing early childhood providers can expand to serve younger children and families.
Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the requirements, and the opportunity points them to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this competition.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 21, 2013. For applicants seeking more details at the time, the announcement provided an additional information link through ACF and directed questions to the Office of Head Start Operations Center (OHS@headstartgrants.org). For technical problems accessing the full announcement, the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov) was listed as the support contact.
