Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a discretionary grant competition to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services in Chambers and Tallapoosa Counties, Alabama. The opportunity is intended to fund a local grantee (or grantees) that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services to eligible young children and their families in those two counties, following federal Head Start requirements and performance standards. In practical terms, the selected applicant(s) would be responsible for running or overseeing early childhood education services along with related family supports, health and developmental services, and program operations that Head Start typically requires.
The annual funding amount available under this announcement is $3,270,953, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an award floor of $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The assistance is provided as a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services. The program is tied to CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The announcement also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet whatever non-federal share obligations apply under Head Start rules and the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities that can operate Head Start at the community level. Eligible applicants include local governments (such as county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with certain exceptions noted for higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The announcement explicitly states that community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements may apply, and it directs faith-based applicants to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
