Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Gallatin, Meagher and Park Counties, Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0498), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant competition under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) intended to select a single grantee to deliver Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in Gallatin, Meagher, and Park Counties in Montana. The opportunity falls under the broader federal activity area of income security and social services.
ACF anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,236,129 per year. The award ceiling is listed as $1,236,129, while the award floor is $0, indicating there is no minimum award amount specified, though the program is clearly structured around a full-service grant up to the ceiling. The announcement also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected applicant would need to meet federal requirements related to non-federal share (a standard feature of Head Start funding, typically satisfied through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash, depending on the applicant's situation and the applicable rules).
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of organization types, as long as they meet the stated requirements. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific category), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations (including for-profits other than small businesses). The announcement specifically notes that faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility standards are welcome to apply. At the same time, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
Key dates show the posting and creation date as April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is July 19, 2012, which signals that the competition has closed and is listed as archived in the federal system, although it remains useful as a reference for how ACF structures these Head Start service area competitions.
The purpose of the grant is to operate Head Start services in the specified Montana counties, meaning the successful applicant would be responsible for delivering comprehensive early childhood education and development services for income-eligible children and their families, consistent with federal Head Start Program Performance Standards. While the summary text does not list detailed program design requirements, Head Start grants generally involve delivering a full set of services that can include early learning, health screenings and referrals, family engagement, and support services, along with strong governance and compliance systems. Applicants typically need to demonstrate community need, organizational capacity, facilities and staffing plans, fiscal controls, and the ability to meet Head Start standards and reporting requirements.
