Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select Head Start grantee organizations that will deliver comprehensive Head Start services in a defined service area in Virginia. The geographic focus is Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Goochland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties. The purpose is to fund an organization (or organizations) that can operate a Head Start program serving eligible young children and their families in these counties, consistent with Head Start program requirements and performance standards.
The total annual funding available is estimated at $2,623,292, and the opportunity anticipates making up to two awards. The award ceiling is also listed as $2,623,292, with an award floor of $0, which generally signals that final award amounts can vary depending on the applicant pool, proposed scope, and ACF funding decisions, up to the maximum available. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The relevant CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 93.600, which corresponds to Head Start. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the grantee is expected to contribute non-federal share in accordance with Head Start rules (typically through allowable cash or in-kind contributions, as defined by program regulations and the specific notice).
Eligibility is broad, reflecting ACFs intent to allow a range of community entities to compete to run Head Start locally. Eligible applicants include local public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet applicable requirements, and certain for-profit entities. The listing also includes several government and education-related entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized tribal governments. Public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities are also included, as are small businesses and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this notice.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted April 19, 2012, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically needed to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating the competition has closed, but the summary still describes the requirements and parameters of that competition. The expected number of awards, funding level, and the defined service area suggest ACF was seeking to ensure continuity and quality of Head Start services in these specific Virginia counties through a competitive selection process.
