Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Clay, Cloud, Ottawa, Republic, and Washington Counties, Kansas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R07 0415), is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The purpose is to select one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in five Kansas counties: Clay, Cloud, Ottawa, Republic, and Washington. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start).
ACF expects to make a single award under this announcement. The estimated total annual funding available is $1,178,754, and the award ceiling is also listed as $1,178,754 (with an award floor of $0). In practical terms, this means the competition is designed to identify one grantee capable of delivering comprehensive Head Start program services across the identified service area using an annual federal funding level up to the stated amount. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations under Head Start grant rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local entities that can demonstrate the capacity to run Head Start programming. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations that meet the program requirements. The announcement also allows applications from for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed as eligible, and small businesses are also listed separately), as well as certain government and education entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award.
The application timeline in the source information shows the opportunity was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2012. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2012, meaning the published competition window has closed as of that archive date, although the information remains useful for historical reference or for understanding how similar Head Start service area competitions are structured.
For applicants or stakeholders seeking more details, the announcement directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org for additional information.
