Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and it is a competitive grant to select a Head Start grantee to serve eligible children and families in Natchitoches and Desoto Parishes, Louisiana. The goal is to fund a local provider that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services in these parishes, consistent with Head Start requirements for early childhood education, health, family well-being supports, and related services aimed at school readiness and family stability.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) within the broader activity area of Income Security and Social Services. ACF anticipates making one award, meaning applicants are competing to become the single grantee responsible for operating the Head Start program for the service area covered by the announcement. The estimated annual funding available is $2,264,694, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is $0, reflecting that the final award amount depends on award decisions and compliance with program and budget requirements, but the funding level indicates the expected scale of operations for the community.
Eligible applicants are broad and include many types of local organizations and governments that can run early childhood programs. These include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, faith-based and community-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, county and city or township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement specifically notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition. A cost sharing or matching requirement is listed as "Yes," which means the selected grantee should expect to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements (typically satisfied through allowable cash and in-kind contributions, subject to Head Start rules and approval).
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an application due date of July 18, 2012. Electronically submitted applications were required to be filed by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012, indicating this specific competition is closed, but the summary still reflects the program structure and requirements for that cycle.
