Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a competitive grant opportunity to select a single Head Start grantee to deliver Head Start services in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The goal of the funding is to support comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children and their families in the county, consistent with the federal Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The announcement notes a modification to the timeline: the application due date was changed to Monday, August 19, 2013, and electronic applications had to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on that date.
This is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0617) with an expected single award. The estimated total funding available is $1,801,156 per year, and the award ceiling is also listed as $1,801,156, indicating the anticipated annual operating level for the selected provider. The award floor is shown as $0, which is a standard listing and does not imply that a $0 award is expected; rather, it reflects the way the opportunity is cataloged. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet applicable non-federal share requirements associated with Head Start funding.
Eligibility is broad within the local public and private sector, reflecting ACF's intent to allow capable community entities to compete to operate the program. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (including for-profit entities that are not small businesses). The announcement explicitly confirms that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet program requirements. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from applying or receiving an award under this announcement.
For applicants seeking more detail on program expectations or competition logistics, the notice directs inquiries to the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing the full announcement or submitting the application, ACF lists the Applications Help Desk as the support point of contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The funding opportunity was posted June 4, 2013 (created June 5, 2013), had an original closing date of August 18, 2013, and was later updated to the August 19, 2013 deadline; the archive date is September 18, 2013, indicating when the opportunity was formally closed out in the listing system.
