Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it invites organizations to compete to become the Head Start grantee serving eight counties in Ohio: Auglaize, Champaign, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Shelby, and Van Wert. The goal is to fund a provider (or providers) that can deliver comprehensive Head Start services to eligible young children and their families across that service area. Head Start funding is intended to support early childhood education and school readiness, along with related family support and health-focused services that are part of the Head Start model.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. ACF anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $9,133,405. The funding listing shows an award ceiling equal to that annual amount, with an award floor of $0, which generally indicates that awards could vary depending on how ACF structures the competition and the approved service levels. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share expectations as described in Head Start requirements (typically met through a combination of cash and allowable in-kind contributions, subject to program rules).
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies operating within the community. The eligibility list also includes various government entities (such as city or township governments and county governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and small businesses, as well as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. At the same time, the announcement explicitly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this competition.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted May 16, 2012, with an application due date (closing date) of August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived August 15, 2012.
