Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), invites organizations to apply to become the Head Start grantee serving Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, and Nelson Counties, along with the City of Charlottesville, Virginia. The intent is to competitively award federal grant funding to a single organization that will operate Head Start services for eligible children and their families in this defined service area. The program focus falls under income security and social services, consistent with Head Start's role in supporting school readiness and comprehensive early childhood development for low income families.
The announcement is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R03 0468) and anticipates one award. The estimated total funding available is $1,603,874 per year, and the award ceiling is also $1,603,874, with no stated award floor. In practical terms, this means the competition is designed to fund one provider at roughly that annual level to deliver the full set of required Head Start program services across the listed counties and the City of Charlottesville, rather than spreading the funds across multiple grantees.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of entity types so long as they meet the eligibility rules. ACF indicates that local public or private nonprofit organizations, including community based and faith based organizations, may apply, and that for profit agencies within the community may also be eligible. The eligibility categories listed include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and for profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the notice explicitly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The announcement also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee should expect that some portion of project costs must be contributed through non federal resources, consistent with Head Start matching requirements.
Timing details in the source indicate the opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an application closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012. While those dates show the original competition window, they also highlight the standard submission expectations ACF uses for Head Start competitions, including strict electronic submission deadlines.
