Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Cass County, Nebraska" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0751), was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose was to select one grantee to operate Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in Cass County, Nebraska. The announcement reflects ACF's intent to fund a local provider capable of delivering comprehensive Head Start services, which typically include early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support services, and other wraparound components required under Head Start program standards.
The award amount was set at $956,945 per year, and the opportunity anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Notably, the award floor and award ceiling were both listed as $956,945, meaning applicants should have planned for a grant at that fixed annual level rather than proposing a range. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the funding activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the eventual grantee would have been expected to meet Head Start's non-federal share requirement consistent with program rules.
ACF opened eligibility broadly to organizations and public entities that could credibly operate a Head Start program in the community. Eligible applicant types included local public or private nonprofits (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations, as well as a range of government and education-related entities such as 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, and federally recognized tribal governments. For-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities other than small businesses) were also listed among eligible applicants, reflecting the announcement's statement that for-profit agencies within a community could compete. At the same time, the notice clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from eligibility.
For faith-based organizations, the announcement explicitly stated that they were eligible as long as they met the standard requirements and encouraged them to review ACF's policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. This language is typically included to clarify that faith-based groups may compete on an equal footing while also highlighting compliance expectations related to the use of federal funds and program operations.
Key dates in the record show the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013. Applications were required 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, indicating the competition period had ended and the solicitation was no longer active.
