Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a competitive grant opportunity to select a Head Start grantee to deliver Head Start services in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. The notice specifies that it is a modified announcement, with the application deadline moved to Monday, August 19, 2013, and it emphasizes that applications submitted electronically must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls under the broader activity area of Income Security and Social Services. Only one award is expected to be made through this competition.
The funding available is listed as $2,230,419 per year, which is also shown as the estimated total funding and the award ceiling for the competition (with an award floor of $0). In practical terms, this means ACF is looking for one organization to operate the local Head Start program and use these annual funds to provide comprehensive early childhood services to eligible children and their families in Iberville Parish. Head Start services typically include early education, health and developmental screenings, family support, nutrition-related services, and coordination with community resources, all delivered under Head Start Program Performance Standards and federal oversight expectations.
Eligibility is broad and designed to allow a range of capable local entities to compete. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), as well as for-profit organizations (including small businesses and for-profit entities other than small businesses). Public entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education are also included, along with private institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status. The announcement explicitly states that faith-based and community organizations that meet standard eligibility requirements may apply. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, sole proprietorships, and similar non-qualifying applicants from competing for or receiving an award under this funding opportunity.
The grant includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee is expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with Head Start and ACF grant rules.
