Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking one organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Caroline County, Virginia, through a discretionary grant competition. The goal of this funding is to support comprehensive Head Start services for eligible children and their families in Caroline County, including the range of early childhood education, health, mental health, nutrition, and family support activities that Head Start programs are designed to deliver. The notice also states that the announcement was modified specifically to change the application deadline to Monday, August 19, 2013, replacing the prior closing date.
Funding available under this opportunity is expected to total $583,991 per year, with an award ceiling of $583,991 and an award floor listed as $0. ACF anticipates making a single award, meaning one applicant will be selected to operate the program in the service area. The funding opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The grant type is identified as a “Grant†funding instrument, and the opportunity category is discretionary, which generally indicates the award will be made competitively based on application quality and responsiveness to program requirements.
A key detail for applicants is that a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies. In practice, Head Start awards typically require the grantee to contribute a non-federal share (often met through a mix of cash and allowable in-kind contributions such as donated space, services, or volunteer time), so prospective applicants would need to plan how they will meet that obligation and document it in their application materials.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public and private entities that can run a Head Start program. Specifically, eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including community-based and faith-based organizations), county governments, city or township 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, and for-profit organizations (including entities other than small businesses as well as small businesses). At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this notice. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly affirmed as eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements.
Applications must be submitted electronically, and the deadline is firm: no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 19, 2013. The opportunity was posted June 4, 2013, created June 5, 2013, and later archived September 18, 2013. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0627, and the title is “Head Start Grantee - Caroline County, Virginia.â€
