Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Head Start, seeks one applicant to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in White Pine County, Nevada. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth to age five, either by combining Head Start and Early Head Start funding into a single coordinated birth-to-five approach, or by operating only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on what the applicant proposes and is eligible to run under the Head Start Act.
The total funding available is $1,177,484 per year, and the award structure indicates a single expected award with an identical award floor and ceiling of $1,177,484, meaning the grant is essentially designed as one full-service award for the county rather than multiple smaller awards. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the program is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document and meet the non-federal share expectations that typically accompany Head Start and Early Head Start awards, consistent with the program rules described in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Eligibility depends on whether an organization is applying to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both. For proposals that include Head Start (Head Start-only or combined Head Start plus Early Head Start), eligible applicants are 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, as allowed under Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must be able to provide Head Start services in White Pine County and must demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency. For Early Head Start-only proposals, eligibility is broader: any public or private nonprofit agency (including faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply under Section 645A(d) of the Act, as long as it can deliver Early Head Start services in the service area. Organizations already operating Head Start programs are explicitly eligible to operate Early Head Start as well. Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not allowed and will be disqualified from competitive review.
The opportunity was posted on September 25, 2014, with an application deadline of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on December 24, 2014. While this specific announcement is historical, the summary details reflect a competitive selection process to identify one organization capable of delivering comprehensive Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for White Pine County.
For help interpreting program requirements or understanding what ACF expects in an application, interested applicants were directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org for additional information.
