Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Grantee opportunity for Lincoln County, New Mexico is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. It invites a single applicant to compete to become the Head Start grantee responsible for delivering Head Start program services to eligible children and families living in Lincoln County. The grant is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services that align with Head Start requirements, which typically include early learning and school readiness programming along with family support and related services for low-income children and their caregivers.
Funding under this announcement is set at $837,433 per year, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $837,433, meaning the annual award amount is essentially fixed at that level for the successful applicant. ACF anticipated making one award. The program is listed under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share rules as described in the full announcement and applicable regulations.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local entities that can operate Head Start services. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program requirements, for-profit organizations, small businesses, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. The announcement explicitly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply. Faith-based organizations are eligible and are directed to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an application due date of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013. While those dates indicate the specific competition window has passed, the summary details still describe what ACF sought in that cycle: an organization capable of delivering Head Start services countywide in Lincoln County under federal performance and accountability expectations.
