Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Head Start Grantee - Natchitoches and Desoto Parishes, Louisiana" 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. It seeks a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Natchitoches and DeSoto Parishes in Louisiana. The funding is intended to support comprehensive Head Start programming, which typically includes early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family engagement and support services, and coordination with community resources so children are ready for school and families are connected to needed supports.
This particular announcement notes an important modification: the application due date was changed to Monday, August 19, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was originally scheduled to close on August 18, 2013, but the official closing date was updated to August 19, 2013. The posting date was June 4, 2013, with a creation date of June 5, 2013, and the announcement was later archived on September 18, 2013.
Funding available under this competition was estimated at $2,146,909 per year, and the award ceiling is also listed as $2,146,909, indicating the intent to fund one award at roughly that annual level. The award floor is listed as $0, which is common in federal listings and generally means there is no guaranteed minimum amount; in practice, the expected single award aligns with the ceiling/estimated total. The opportunity anticipates one award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with this opportunity is 93.600 (Head Start). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements consistent with program rules.
Eligibility is broad across many local organizational types, reflecting the community-based nature of Head Start. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet program eligibility requirements, and certain for-profit agencies. The listing also includes a range of government and education entities such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education, as well as public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement clearly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
