Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Carroll, Clinton, and White Counties, Indiana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0707), 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 of the competition is to select one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Carroll, Clinton, and White Counties in Indiana. The program focus falls under the broader category of income security and social services, and it is associated with CFDA 93.600 (Head Start).
ACF planned to make a single award, with total annual funding of $1,055,182. The award amount is essentially fixed for this competition, since the stated award floor and ceiling are both $1,055,182. The grant is intended to support the full range of Head Start program services, which typically include comprehensive early childhood education, health and developmental screenings and referrals, family support services, and activities designed to promote school readiness while engaging parents as partners in their childrens learning and development.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined to encourage competition among capable local providers. Public or private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, are eligible, and for-profit agencies within the community may also apply. The eligibility list also includes certain government entities (such as county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, and institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled). Faith-based organizations are explicitly noted as eligible as long as they meet the standard requirements, and applicants are directed to review ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this notice.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the eventual grantee must meet Head Start non-federal share rules (commonly satisfied through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash match, depending on the situation and applicable program regulations). While the summary data does not spell out the percentage or mechanics, applicants would need to budget and document the required match in line with Head Start and ACF grant requirements.
Key dates in the published record show the opportunity was posted on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013. Applicants needing more information about the Head Start competition were invited to contact the OHS Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
