Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) released this discretionary grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for children and families living in Sullivan County, New York. The intent is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive birth-to-five early childhood program. Applicants can propose a combined approach that uses both Head Start (generally preschool-age) and Early Head Start (prenatal to age three) funding, or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, as long as the proposed services cover eligible children and families in the county and meet the statutory and program requirements laid out in the Head Start Act and the full funding opportunity announcement.
The total amount available is listed as $2,917,261 per year, which also serves as the maximum award amount (award ceiling). The minimum award amount (award floor) is $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards under this announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity area is Income Security and Social Services under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The notice also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to document non-federal share expectations as required by the program rules and the detailed announcement.
Eligibility depends on which program option an applicant is pursuing. For proposals that include Head Start (Head Start only, or a combined Head Start and 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 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 deliver Head Start services in Sullivan County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements for designation as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For proposals that are Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader in the sense that it includes any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community organizations) or for-profit agencies, consistent with Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)), as long as they can provide Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly allowed to operate Early Head Start as well. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards.
A wide range of entity types may apply so long as they meet the program-specific eligibility rules above. The notice lists potential applicant categories including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with certain exceptions noted), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, county and municipal governments, state governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Faith-based organizations are eligible and encouraged to review ACF policy regarding grants to faith-based organizations, referenced in the announcement.
