Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for children and families living in Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, and Salem Counties in New Jersey. The goal is to fund a local provider (or providers) that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services to eligible low-income children and their families in those counties, consistent with Head Start performance standards and program requirements.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0333 (CFDA 93.600, Head Start) and is categorized as Income Security and Social Services. The award mechanism is a grant, and ACF anticipated making about two awards under this announcement. The estimated total annual funding available is $10,338,849, which is also shown as the award ceiling, indicating the maximum amount expected for an award under this competition. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that funding levels depend on the applicant’s approved program design and other factors rather than a guaranteed minimum per award.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply, reflecting how Head Start services are often delivered through diverse local entities. Eligible applicants include local and county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement explicitly notes that community-based and faith-based organizations that meet the eligibility requirements may apply. At the same time, the announcement excludes certain applicants: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this notice.
Applicants should also plan for cost sharing or matching, because the opportunity indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement. In practical terms, that means the eventual grantee is expected to contribute a non-federal share (often through allowable cash or in-kind contributions) consistent with Head Start rules, and applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet that requirement.
Key dates for the competition show that the funding opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference for similar Head Start grant competitions.
