Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R03 0663) 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 a Head Start grantee to serve eligible children and families living in Halifax and Mecklenburg Counties, Virginia. The purpose is to fund the delivery of Head Start program services in those counties, consistent with the Head Start mission of promoting school readiness for young children from low income families by supporting comprehensive early learning, health, and family well being services.
ACF expects to make one award under this announcement. The annual funding amount is set at $1,165,903, and the award floor and ceiling are the same ($1,165,903), indicating the grant is designed as a single, fixed level award for the defined service area rather than a range of possible award sizes. The activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the associated CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee will be expected to meet Head Start non federal share requirements as described in the full program rules and the announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local entities that can operate Head Start, such as public and private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community based and faith based organizations that meet program eligibility rules, as well as certain government entities (for example, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments). Some higher education institutions are also listed as eligible, along with for profit organizations (including small businesses and other for profit entities). However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement. Faith based organizations are specifically encouraged to review ACF policy on grants to faith based organizations, which is referenced in the notice.
