Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Grant and Jefferson Counties, Arkansas" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0522), is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The purpose of the award is to select one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Grant and Jefferson Counties, Arkansas. Head Start grants are designed to support comprehensive early childhood programming that promotes school readiness for young children from low-income families, typically through education, health, mental health, nutrition, family engagement, and related support services delivered directly or through community partnerships.
ACF anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $2,783,057. The award ceiling matches that figure ($2,783,057), while the award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates the agency did not set a minimum award amount in the public notice even though one award was expected. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity area is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements consistent with program rules (often met through allowable in-kind contributions and other approved sources rather than only cash).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can credibly operate a county-level early childhood program. Eligible applicants listed in the notice include local and county governments (including city or township governments and county 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 IHEs), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also explicitly named as eligible). The announcement also emphasizes that community-based and faith-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet program requirements. At the same time, certain categories are explicitly excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement.
Key dates in the posting indicate the opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an application deadline 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, reflecting that the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope and requirements of the award and for reference in related Head Start competitions. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
