Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Milwaukee County, including the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin," is a discretionary federal funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The goal is to award grant funding to organizations that can operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Milwaukee County, including the City of Milwaukee. Head Start is part of the broader Income Security and Social Services funding category, and the program is listed under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start.
ACF is soliciting applications from organizations within the community that want to compete to deliver comprehensive Head Start program services. The announcement makes clear that eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies. The eligibility list is broad and specifically includes entities such as county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education institutions), and even small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also listed separately). At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity.
The funding level described is substantial: the estimated total available funding is $26,299,523 per year to provide Head Start services in the Milwaukee County service area. The notice indicates an award ceiling of $26,299,523 and an award floor of $0, meaning awards could range up to the full amount depending on how ACF structures the awards and selections. The opportunity anticipates multiple awards, with an expected six awards noted in the source data, which suggests the service area or funded slots may be divided among more than one grantee or that multiple projects may be funded to cover the countywide need.
Applicants should also plan for a cost-sharing or matching requirement, as the announcement indicates that matching is required. While the summary data does not specify the exact match percentage or how it must be met, Head Start grants typically include non-federal share requirements that grantees must document and track, often through allowable cash and in-kind contributions. Any organization considering applying would need to confirm the precise match rules and documentation expectations in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Key dates in the posting show that the opportunity was posted on April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is listed as July 19, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer active, but the details remain useful for understanding the scope and structure of the competition that was held for Head Start services in Milwaukee County.
