Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0459) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a Head Start grantee to deliver services in five Virginia localities: Brunswick, Dinwiddie, Greensville, Surry, and Sussex Counties. The award is intended to support comprehensive Head Start program services for eligible children and their families living in those counties, consistent with the Head Start mission of promoting school readiness through early learning, health, and family well-being supports. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls within the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
ACF expects to make one award, with estimated total annual funding of $1,963,739. The published award ceiling matches that amount ($1,963,739), while the award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that final funding is dependent on applicant eligibility, program design, and federal review decisions rather than guaranteeing a minimum. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee must contribute non-federal resources consistent with Head Start’s non-federal share rules (the announcement notes that matching is required, though specific percentages and allowable sources are generally detailed in the full FOA and Head Start regulations).
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet requirements, and certain for-profit entities. The eligibility list also includes city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing or receiving awards under this notice. In practical terms, the competition is aimed at organizations that can demonstrate the governance, fiscal controls, facilities capacity, staffing plan, and Head Start program expertise needed to operate a full Head Start grant serving children and families across the specified service area.
The key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating the listing is historical rather than currently open, but it still serves as a useful reference for the type of information ACF requires and the funding scale for that service area.
For applicants seeking more detail about program expectations or the service area, the notice directs inquiries to the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing or submitting the full announcement electronically, applicants are directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
