Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering a competitive discretionary grant to select one organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. The purpose of this funding is to operate Head Start program services for eligible children and their families living in that parish, consistent with Head Start requirements and performance standards. The opportunity is tied to the Head Start program under CFDA 93.600, and it is structured as a grant award rather than a contract.
The funding level is fixed at $2,167,687 per year, and the announcement indicates both the award floor and ceiling are the same amount, meaning applicants are effectively competing to run the program at that annual funding level rather than proposing widely different budgets. ACF expects to make one award. There is a cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this opportunity, so applicants should be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share rules that typically apply to Head Start grants.
A wide range of applicant types may apply, as long as they are capable of delivering Head Start services locally. Eligible applicants include local and county governments, 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, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The announcement specifically notes that community-based and faith-based organizations are eligible if they meet the standard eligibility requirements, and it directs faith-based entities to review ACF policy on grants to faith-based organizations. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this funding opportunity.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0727) and the title (Head Start Grantee - Morehouse Parish, Louisiana). The notice was posted July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity is archived as of November 20, 2013, which indicates the competition window has closed, but the record remains useful for understanding the funding history and program expectations for that service area.
For applicants or stakeholders seeking more details, ACF provided a link to the full announcement on the ACF grants site, and offered technical assistance contacts.
