Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Mercer County, Ohio. The award is intended to support the delivery of comprehensive Head Start program services for eligible children and their families in that county. The total annual funding available is $1,017,399, and the opportunity anticipates making one award, meaning one applicant will be chosen to operate the program in the service area.
The grant is listed as a discretionary award and uses the grant funding instrument. It falls under the “Income Security and Social Services†activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). The stated award amount is tightly defined, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $1,017,399, which signals that applicants should plan around that annual funding level rather than proposing widely different budget totals. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to meet Head Start’s non-federal share expectations as part of their application and program operations.
Eligibility is broad within the community, covering local public or private nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet federal requirements, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses, and also other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses). Public entities such as city or township governments, county governments, public housing authorities, independent school districts, and public and state-controlled higher education institutions may also apply, along with private institutions of higher education. However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement. Faith-based organizations are specifically noted as eligible if they meet the standard requirements, and they are directed to review ACF’s policy on grants to faith-based organizations.
Key dates indicate this was posted on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
