Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Benton County, Mississippi" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0476), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant intended to fund one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Benton County, Mississippi. The program falls under the broader category of income security and social services and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The goal is to ensure comprehensive Head Start programming is available locally, including services that support early learning and school readiness along with family-focused supports that are typical of Head Start operations.
The funding level for this opportunity is listed as $1,107,295 per year, with an estimated total funding amount equal to that figure. The award ceiling is also $1,107,295, and the award floor is $0, indicating the maximum expected annual award for the successful applicant and that smaller amounts are technically possible depending on award structuring. Only one award was expected to be made under this announcement, meaning applicants were competing for a single grant to serve the county. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to plan for and document the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start grant rules.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of domestic entities capable of running a Head Start program. Eligible applicants included local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), as well as for-profit agencies within the community.
