Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana," was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant intended to fund a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. The funding is tied to the Head Start program under CFDA 93.600, which falls under the broader federal activity area of income security and social services. The announcement makes clear that ACF is looking for a local provider capable of delivering comprehensive Head Start program services, which generally include early childhood education, health, nutrition, family engagement, and other support services designed to promote school readiness and family well-being.
The opportunity offers an annual funding amount of $1,830,363, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed at the same figure, meaning the expected award size is essentially fixed at that annual level rather than a broad range. ACF anticipated making one award under this competition. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to document and meet non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules and grant terms, rather than relying exclusively on federal dollars.
Eligibility is broad, focusing on organizations that can operate services within the community. Eligible applicants include local public or private entities such as nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, with specific exclusions), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses and also including small businesses as an eligible category), county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement explicitly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this funding notice. Faith-based organizations are explicitly encouraged to apply if they meet eligibility requirements, and the notice points applicants to ACF policy guidance related to grants for faith-based organizations.
Key dates included a posted date and creation date of July 23, 2013, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on November 20, 2013, indicating it is no longer open, but the summary still reflects the official terms, funding level, and eligibility conditions that applied during the competition period.
For applicants seeking more details during the open period, ACF directed interested organizations to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
