Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it is focused on selecting one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for families living in Conway, Franklin, Johnson, Logan, Perry, Polk, Pope, Scott, and Yell Counties in Arkansas. The funding is intended to support comprehensive Head Start programming for eligible children and their families across these counties, which generally includes early childhood education, health and developmental screening and referrals, family support services, and strong parent and community engagement components consistent with Head Start Program Performance Standards. The opportunity is discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument, under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), which is the standard federal assistance listing for Head Start awards.
ACF indicates that approximately $4,312,575 per year is available for this service area, and the estimated total funding listed for the opportunity matches that annual amount. The award ceiling is also listed as $4,312,575, with an award floor of $0, which typically means award size could vary depending on how ACF structures awards and how applications score, but the total amount available for the service area is capped at the stated ceiling. The announcement anticipates up to 3 awards, suggesting ACF may fund more than one provider to cover the full geographic area and enrolled children, or may be open to multiple grants that together make up the overall service area approach.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply, reflecting the program's community-based nature. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements, county and city/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 tribal governments, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). At the same time, the notice makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietor organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. A cost sharing or matching requirement is listed as "Yes," meaning applicants should expect some form of non-federal share requirement consistent with Head Start rules, and should be prepared to document how they will meet it as part of the application and ongoing grant compliance.
The posting date for the opportunity is May 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2012.
