Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Kanawha County, West Virginia" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0472), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Kanawha County, West Virginia. The program focus falls under Income Security and Social Services, and the applicable CFDA program number is 93.600 (Head Start).
The award is designed to fund the delivery of comprehensive Head Start program services, meaning applicants are expected to provide the full range of supports typically required under Head Start, not just early education. In practice, this generally includes high-quality early childhood education and development services, family engagement and support, health and developmental screening and referral, nutrition services, and coordination with community resources so families can access needed supports. The announcement frames this as an opportunity for local entities within the community to compete to run Head Start programming for the county, with an emphasis on serving eligible children and strengthening outcomes for families.
Funding available under the announcement is listed as $2,955,153 per year. The estimated total funding matches that amount, and the award ceiling is also $2,955,153, with an award floor of $0. The opportunity anticipates up to two awards (ExpectedAwards: 2), suggesting ACF may fund more than one grantee arrangement for the service area depending on the applications received and program design. A cost-sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," which means applicants should be prepared to meet whatever non-federal share requirements apply to Head Start grants (typically addressed in the full funding announcement and related Head Start regulations and guidance).
Eligibility is broad but defined. ACF states it is soliciting applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based organizations, and also allows for-profit agencies within the community to apply. The eligibility list includes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this notice. Faith-based organizations are explicitly affirmed as eligible as long as they meet the standard eligibility requirements.
Key dates show this was posted on May 16, 2012, with the application closing date set for August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating the opportunity has since closed, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope, eligibility, and typical requirements of Head Start grant competitions for specific service areas.
