Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking one organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Comal and Guadalupe Counties in Texas. This is a discretionary grant opportunity (CFDA 93.600) designed to fund the delivery of comprehensive Head Start services for eligible children and their families in those two counties. The program focus falls under Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start's mission to promote school readiness by supporting early learning, health, and family well-being.
Funding is set at an annual amount of $2,140,230, and the opportunity is structured with both the award ceiling and award floor listed at $2,140,230, indicating ACF anticipated making a single award at that specific funding level. The expected number of awards is one, meaning applicants are competing to become the sole Head Start provider funded through this announcement for the defined service area.
A wide range of applicants may apply, including local public or private organizations and certain for-profit entities, as long as they meet eligibility requirements. Eligible applicant types listed include nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding those categories only when they are not institutions of higher education), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, small businesses, other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, city or township governments, county governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly noted as eligible if they meet the program requirements, and ACF points applicants to its policy on grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are specifically ineligible.
The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the selected grantee must meet Head Start's non-federal share requirement (typically satisfied through a combination of cash and allowable in-kind contributions, depending on program rules and the grantee's approved approach). Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was posted July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013, and an archive date of November 20, 2013.
