Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Barton, Pawnee, and Rice Counties, Kansas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0970), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 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 Barton, Pawnee, and Rice Counties in Kansas. The funding supports the delivery of comprehensive Head Start program services, which typically include early childhood education, health and developmental screening, family engagement and support services, and coordination with community resources designed to strengthen school readiness and overall family well-being.
The opportunity offered an estimated total of $486,659 per year, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $486,659, indicating that ACF anticipated one award at a fixed annual amount. The program is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls within the activity category of Income Security and Social Services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to contribute non-federal share consistent with Head Start requirements (often met through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash match, depending on program rules and applicant circumstances).
Eligible applicants were broadly defined to include many types of community-based entities capable of operating a Head Start program. This included nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, other for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in one listed category), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. However, individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities were explicitly ineligible and would be disqualified from review and funding under this announcement.
