Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single Head Start grantee to deliver Head Start services in a defined service area covering seven Iowa counties: Audubon, Calhoun, Carroll, Dallas, Greene, Guthrie, and Sac. The intent is to fund an organization that can operate a compliant Head Start program serving eligible young children and providing family-focused supports that align with Head Start requirements. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services.
ACF anticipates making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding level of $1,615,649. The listed award ceiling matches that annual amount ($1,615,649), and the award floor is $0, which typically indicates that the final funded amount depends on the approved application and program design within available funds. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the eventual grantee must be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share expectations as part of operating the program (for example, through allowable in-kind contributions or other approved sources, consistent with federal rules).
Eligibility is broad across public and private entities that can credibly operate Head Start at the community level. Eligible applicants include local governments (county and city/township), independent school districts, public and state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and certain for-profit entities (including small businesses and other for-profit organizations). Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly stated as eligible as long as they meet the requirements. The announcement also clearly notes who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this opportunity.
The key administrative details are tied to the original posting and closing cycle. The opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application due date (original and current closing 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, and the opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012. The official funding opportunity number is HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0424, and the title is "Head Start Grantee - Audubon, Calhoun, Carroll, Dallas, Greene, Guthrie, and Sac Counties, Iowa."
