Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Bradford and Tioga Counties, Pennsylvania" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R03 0545), is a discretionary 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 is to select a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Bradford and Tioga Counties in Pennsylvania. The announcement notes a modification to the timeline: the application due date was changed to Monday, August 19, 2013, and awards were expected to be made in Fiscal Year 2014.
The grant is intended to fund comprehensive Head Start program services, which generally include early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, nutrition supports, family engagement, and connections to community services for low-income families. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The opportunity anticipates making one award, meaning one grantee would be selected to deliver services across the defined service area (Bradford and Tioga Counties).
Funding is set at an estimated total of $2,178,595 annually, and the stated award ceiling matches that amount ($2,178,595). The award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that award amounts depend on the final approved application and funding decisions, though the annual amount advertised indicates the approximate available level for operating the program in the counties. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for non-federal share expectations that are common in Head Start funding (for example, documented in-kind contributions, donated space, volunteer time, or other allowable match sources consistent with program rules).
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of entity types that can reasonably operate community-based early childhood services. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses.
