Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking applications for a Head Start grant to serve children and families living in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. This is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), focused on income security and social services. The goal is to fund an organization (or organizations) capable of operating a full Head Start program that delivers comprehensive services for eligible children and their families in the county.
ACF expects to make up to two awards under this opportunity. Total annual funding available is $5,760,655, which also appears to be the maximum award amount (award ceiling) for an applicant. The award floor is listed as $500,000, meaning proposals may be considered at varying scales, but the total amount available annually for the service area is $5.76 million. The opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to document non-federal share commitments consistent with Head Start rules and federal grant requirements.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private entities and certain for-profit agencies that can meet program and fiscal requirements. Specifically, eligible applicants include small businesses; county, city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted distinction for institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly welcomed as eligible as long as they meet all requirements, and ACF points applicants to its policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The funding opportunity number is HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0677, and it was originally posted on July 23, 2013. The application deadline (both the original and current closing date) is October 21, 2013, with electronic submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013, which indicates the competitive cycle is closed, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope, funding level, and eligibility framework for this service area.
For applicants seeking more details about program expectations, service area requirements, or competition logistics, ACF directs interested parties to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
