Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Atasoca, Karnes, and Wilson Counties in Texas. The program focus is Head Start (CFDA 93.600), which falls under the broader area of income security and social services. The intent is to fund an organization (or organizations) that can deliver comprehensive early childhood programming and family support services consistent with Head Start requirements, aimed at improving school readiness and overall child and family well-being in the service area.
The announcement makes up to $2,511,920 available each year to support these Head Start program services. The estimated total funding listed is also $2,511,920, and the award ceiling is $2,511,920, meaning awards are not expected to exceed that amount under this specific notice. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally signals that the final award amount depends on the applicant’s proposed scope, funded enrollment, and approved budget rather than guaranteeing a minimum. ACF anticipates making up to two awards, suggesting either a single grantee may serve the entire area or the service area could be split across multiple operators depending on what ACF determines is in the best interest of the communities and the program.
A wide range of applicant types may apply, as long as they are capable of operating Head Start and meet eligibility rules. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, and for-profit agencies (other than small businesses, per the category listing) operating within the community. Other eligible entity types called out include city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), institutions of higher education (public/state-controlled and private), Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, and small businesses (noting that the eligibility list includes small businesses while the description also references for-profit agencies). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee(s) should expect to meet non-federal share rules that apply to Head Start funding (often referred to as match), subject to applicable regulations and any allowed waivers or reductions under federal policy. Applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet match requirements through allowable cash and/or in-kind contributions and maintain proper records, since match is typically a compliance area reviewed in Head Start oversight.
Key dates show the notice was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application due date of July 18, 2012. Applications submitted electronically had to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
