Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Fort Morgan and Log Lane in Morgan County, Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0754), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to select a single grantee to deliver Head Start services to eligible children and families living specifically in Fort Morgan and Log Lane in Morgan County, Colorado. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start).

ACF planned to make one award with an estimated annual funding amount of $677,376. The funding details were set with a fixed structure: the award floor and award ceiling were both $677,376, indicating the anticipated annual grant amount for the successful applicant rather than a wide range of possible award sizes. The announcement also states that a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet whatever non-federal share requirements Head Start regulations and the specific notice terms require.

Eligibility was broad within the boundaries of organizational applicants that can operate services in a community. Eligible applicants included local public or private nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet federal eligibility rules, and certain for-profit entities. Public sector entities were also eligible, including independent school districts, county governments, and city or township governments, along with federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Institutions of higher education (public or private) and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities were listed as eligible as well. At the same time, the announcement made clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships could not apply. Faith-based organizations were explicitly encouraged to review ACF policy related to grants for faith-based organizations, reflecting standard federal guidance on participation and compliance.

The application timeline shows the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013, which indicates it is no longer open for competition, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope and structure of the award.

For organizations seeking more information about program operations or the competition itself, the announcement directed interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. Applicants who had technical trouble accessing the full announcement or submitting materials were advised to contact the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
