Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Bedford, Coffee, Franklin, Giles, Hickman, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Marshall, Maury, Moore, Perry, and Wayne Counties, Tennessee," is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The purpose of the competition is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and their families living across the listed Tennessee counties. In practical terms, the award supports comprehensive early childhood programming for low-income families, including early learning and development services, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement and support, and required program governance and accountability structures typical of Head Start grants.
ACF indicates that approximately $7,029,648 in annual funding is available to support Head Start program services in this service area, with an award ceiling of $7,029,648 and no stated award floor. The opportunity anticipates making up to two awards, which suggests ACF may fund either a single grantee covering the full service area or multiple grantees dividing responsibilities, depending on what applicants propose and what the agency determines is most feasible for delivering high-quality services. The funding activity aligns with the federal category of Income Security and Social Services, and the applicable CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) is 93.600, Head Start.
Eligibility is broad and is designed to encourage strong local providers to compete. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, as well as for-profit agencies operating within the community, as long as they meet Head Start eligibility and capacity requirements. The eligible applicant types listed include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this notice.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to document and budget for a non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules (often met through allowable in-kind contributions or cash match, depending on the organization and program design). Applicants generally need to be prepared to demonstrate both programmatic capacity (how they will deliver the full Head Start service model) and financial/administrative capacity (how they will manage federal grant requirements, reporting, and compliance), since Head Start is a highly regulated program with detailed performance standards.
Key dates in the notice show the opportunity was posted May 16, 2012, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012.
