Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking applications for a single Head Start grant to serve children and families living in Jefferson County, Ohio. This is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to fund the delivery of Head Start program services, which typically include comprehensive early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support services, and related wraparound assistance for eligible low-income children and their families in the county. The opportunity is aimed at identifying one organization to operate the local Head Start program under federal Head Start requirements.
Funding available under this announcement is $1,726,254 per year, and the notice indicates an expected total of one award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $1,726,254, meaning the grant amount is essentially fixed at that annual level for the selected grantee. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to meet the non-federal share expectations that generally accompany Head Start funding.
Eligibility is broad within the local service community. ACF indicates that local public or private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, may apply, and for-profit agencies within the community may also be eligible. The eligible applicant types listed include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, private and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in that specific category listing, though small businesses are separately listed as eligible). At the same time, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. Faith-based organizations are specifically noted as eligible if they meet the stated requirements, and they are directed to consult ACF policy guidance related to grants to faith-based organizations.
Key dates for this opportunity are tied to the 2013 posting and closing timeline. The funding opportunity was posted on July 23, 2013, with an application due date of October 21, 2013. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013.
