Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Columbia County, New York" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0650), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 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 Columbia County, New York. The funding is intended to support comprehensive Head Start program delivery, which typically includes early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and other required Head Start components designed to promote school readiness and overall family well-being.
ACF expects to make a single award under this announcement. The annual amount available is $1,313,345, and the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $1,313,345, meaning the selected applicant is expected to propose a program budget at that level. The opportunity falls under the "Income Security and Social Services" activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the eventual grantee must meet Head Start match rules as part of operating the program.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private nonprofit organizations, community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, and certain for-profit agencies operating in the community. The eligible applicant types explicitly listed include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education where applicable), 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/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award. Faith-based organizations are eligible and are encouraged to review ACF policy on grants to faith-based organizations, reflecting that participation is allowed so long as federal grant requirements are met.
