Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start, to select a Head Start grantee to serve families in Clarion and Jefferson Counties, Pennsylvania. The goal is to fund an organization that can operate Head Start program services for eligible young children and their families in those two counties, delivering the comprehensive early childhood services Head Start is known for (including early learning, health, family well-being supports, and parent engagement) in line with federal Head Start requirements.
The announcement makes available an estimated 2,045,123 dollars per year to support these services, with an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as 2,045,123 dollars, and the award floor is 0, meaning the funding level is essentially capped at the annual amount shown, but the agency did not set a minimum award amount. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the applicable CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, which typically means the selected grantee must meet Head Start non-federal share requirements through allowable cash or in-kind contributions, consistent with program rules.
Eligibility is broad across community-serving entities, reflecting the intent to recruit a capable local provider. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program eligibility standards, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, though small businesses are also listed as eligible). Public entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education may apply, along with private institutions of higher education and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The notice is equally clear about who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
