Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking one organization to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Laramie County, Wyoming. The grant is intended to support a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving the birth-to-five age range. Applicants can propose to run a combined program that incorporates both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they can apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, as long as they can deliver services throughout the designated service area and meet the program requirements established in the Head Start Act and related federal guidance.
This is a discretionary federal grant opportunity (CFDA 93.600, Head Start) with an expected single award. The total estimated annual funding is $1,996,201, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $1,996,201, which signals that ACF anticipated making one award at that amount for this service area. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee is expected to contribute non-federal share as required under Head Start rules (the specific expectations and allowable sources are typically detailed in the full funding opportunity announcement).
Eligibility depends on what portion of the program an applicant proposes to operate. For applicants seeking to provide Head Start only, or both Head Start and Early Head Start together, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act, that can provide Head Start services in the Laramie County service area. These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For applicants seeking to provide Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based and community-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, provided they can deliver Early Head Start services within the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
A wide range of entity types are listed as potentially eligible depending on the program approach and statutory requirements, including state and local governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments (federally recognized), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exclusions), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (again, subject to the Head Start versus Early Head Start eligibility rules described above). Faith-based organizations are eligible if they meet the requirements, and they are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0765, posted July 24, 2013, with an application deadline of October 22, 2013.
