Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) offered a competitive grant opportunity to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in the City of Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts. The funding is intended to support the full range of Head Start program services, which typically include early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support, and connections to community resources, all delivered in line with federal Head Start requirements. The opportunity was structured as a discretionary grant competition, meaning applicants would be evaluated and selected through a competitive review process rather than receiving funds by formula.
The funding opportunity number for this competition was HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R01-0647, listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and categorized under Income Security and Social Services. ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The estimated total funding available was $5,563,450 per year, with an award ceiling of $5,563,450 and an award floor of $500,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants needed to plan for meeting the non-federal share expectations that generally accompany Head Start grants.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of local entities that could realistically deliver Head Start services at community scale. Eligible applicants included local public or private nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as specified), community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public, state-controlled, and private), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Faith-based organizations were explicitly welcomed so long as they met standard eligibility rules, and ACF pointed applicants to its policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement.
Key dates show this as a time-limited, archived opportunity. The notice was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on November 20, 2013, indicating the competition period had ended and the posting was retained for recordkeeping and reference.
For applicants seeking more detail during the open period, ACF directed questions to the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
