Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it is a competitive grant to select one organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Carroll, Clinton, and White Counties in Indiana. The purpose is to fund the delivery of Head Start program services for eligible young children and their families in those counties, using the federal Head Start framework that supports school readiness and promotes healthy development through early education, health, family well-being supports, and community partnerships.
ACF expects to make a single award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,127,112 per year. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $1,127,112, which signals that the annual funding level is essentially fixed for the selected grantee rather than being a wide-ranging request. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument, and it falls under the broader activity area of Income Security and Social Services. The applicable CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 93.600, Head Start.
Eligibility is broad for organizational applicants within the community. Eligible applicants include local and state governmental entities (such as city or township governments and county governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and private institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and a range of nonprofit and for-profit entities. Nonprofits may apply whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status, although the listing distinguishes between those categories. For-profit organizations, including small businesses and other for-profit entities, are also eligible, which reflects ACF's intent to allow different types of capable local providers to compete to operate the Head Start program. At the same time, 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.
The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the grantee should expect to meet Head Start's non-federal share requirements (typically satisfied through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash contributions, depending on program rules and the applicant's plan). Applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet that requirement and manage it over time in compliance with federal regulations and Head Start Program Performance Standards.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on September 24, 2014, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity archive date is December 24, 2014, indicating it is no longer open, but the information remains useful for understanding how ACF structures Head Start re-competition announcements and what typical applicant expectations look like.
