Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Municipality of Adjuntas, Puerto Rico" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0911), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. The goal is to select a single grantee to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in the Municipality of Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services.
ACF expected to make one award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $861,703. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $861,703, which signals that the funding level is essentially fixed for this service area rather than a wide-ranging request. The announcement also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee must meet Head Start non-federal share rules (for example, providing an approved in-kind contribution and/or other allowable non-federal support as required by the program).
Eligibility is broad within the U.S. domestic context and includes a mix of public and private entities that can demonstrate the ability to deliver Head Start services locally. Eligible applicants include local governments (city/township and county 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 Native American tribal governments, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the notice is clear about key exclusions: applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and would be disqualified from review and funding under this announcement.
The application timeline in the source notice shows the opportunity was posted on September 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of November 24, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is December 24, 2014, indicating the posting is no longer active, but the details remain useful for understanding the structure of the competition and the service area expectations.
