Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R07-0749) comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and is a competitive, discretionary grant to operate Head Start services for families living in five Missouri counties: Holt, Worth, Gentry, Atchison, and Nodaway. The intent is to fund one organization to deliver comprehensive Head Start program services for eligible children and their families across that service area, consistent with the Head Start mission of promoting school readiness and supporting child development through high-quality early learning, health, and family well-being supports.
ACF anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $1,361,704. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $1,361,704, which signals that the agency is effectively competing one grant at a set funding level for a specific service area rather than offering a wide range of potential award sizes. The assistance listing is under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting Head Start's role in strengthening family stability and child outcomes through coordinated services.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee is expected to meet Head Start's non-federal share expectations (typically met through allowable in-kind contributions, cash match, or a mix, subject to program rules). Applicants should plan from the beginning for how they will document and sustain this match, since it is a standard compliance area during monitoring and audits.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private entities such as nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public and private institutions of higher education. Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly welcomed as long as they meet eligibility requirements, and ACF points applicants to its policy on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The opportunity was posted on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing shows an archive date of November 20, 2013, indicating the competition is closed, but the details remain useful for understanding how Head Start service-area competitions are structured and what eligibility and funding parameters ACF typically uses.
For applicants seeking more details about program expectations, service area scope, or competition-related questions, ACF directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing or submitting the full announcement materials, the ACF Applications Help Desk is provided as the support contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
