Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Durham County, North Carolina," was published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to fund the delivery of Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Durham County, North Carolina. It is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls within the broader activity area of income security and social services. The purpose is to select organizations that can operate a Head Start program locally, providing comprehensive early childhood services and family supports consistent with Head Start requirements.
ACF announced that approximately $3,016,003 in annual funding would be available for this community, with an award ceiling of $3,016,003 and an award floor of $500,000. The announcement anticipated up to two awards, indicating that ACF expected either multiple service providers or a structure that could split service responsibilities, depending on the applications received and program design. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning an awardee would be expected to contribute non-federal resources as required by Head Start rules and the terms laid out in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility was broad and intended to reflect the range of organizations capable of running Head Start programs. Eligible applicants included local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), and for-profit agencies operating within the community. The eligibility list also covered entities such as federally recognized tribal governments, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception regarding institutions of higher education in the listing), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). At the same time, the announcement explicitly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity. Faith-based organizations were specifically noted as eligible as long as they met program requirements, and ACF pointed applicants to its policy on grants to faith-based organizations for guidance.
The key dates for this competition were: a posted date of July 23, 2013, and an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on November 20, 2013, which signals that this particular competition is closed, although similar Head Start grant competitions may appear in later years as service areas are recompeted.
