Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey. The program focus is Head Start (CFDA 93.600), which supports comprehensive early childhood services for children from low-income families, typically including early learning, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and coordination with community resources. The goal of the competition is to fund organizations that can deliver high-quality Head Start programming across the defined service area.
The total funding available is listed as $6,447,750 per year, with an award ceiling of $6,447,750 and no stated award floor. ACF anticipates making up to two awards, which means the service area and funding may be split across more than one grantee depending on the application outcomes and ACF decisions. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, aligning with Head Start's role in strengthening school readiness and family well-being through community-based supports.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include local public or private entities that can operate Head Start, such as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (including community-based and faith-based organizations), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). The announcement explicitly notes that faith-based and community organizations that meet program requirements are eligible. At the same time, certain applicants are not eligible: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships cannot compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee(s) should expect to contribute non-federal share in accordance with Head Start program rules and the specific terms described in the full announcement. Applicants should plan for compliance with federal Head Start Performance Standards and related administrative, fiscal, and governance requirements typically associated with operating a Head Start program, including demonstrating organizational capacity, community engagement, and the ability to provide comprehensive services to children and families in the two-county area.
