Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it is seeking a single organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Cabarrus County, North Carolina. The funding is intended to support comprehensive Head Start services for eligible children and their families in that county. In practical terms, the award supports early childhood education and school readiness work paired with the broader Head Start model, which typically includes family support and connections to health, developmental, and social services.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and ACF expects to make one award. The total annual funding available is $1,235,909, and the announcement lists that same amount as both the award ceiling and award floor, meaning the award amount is essentially fixed at $1,235,909 per year for the funded services. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, aligning with Head Start's role in supporting low-income families through early learning and related wraparound supports. The listing also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to meet non-federal share expectations consistent with Head Start rules (the announcement flags that a match is required even though it does not spell out the percentage in the excerpt provided).
ACF is inviting applications from a wide range of local public and private entities that can operate Head Start services in the community. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit entities, small businesses, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. However, individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible; applications from those parties will be disqualified from competitive review and will not be funded.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted on September 24, 2014, with an application closing date of November 24, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 24, 2014, which indicates the competition has closed, but the details remain useful as a reference for similar Head Start funding opportunities and expectations.
