Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Orange County, Virginia" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R03 0337), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to fund one organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Orange County, Virginia. The program focus falls under the Income Security and Social Services category (CFDA 93.600 - Head Start), reflecting its purpose of supporting early childhood development and family well-being for low-income communities.
The funding available is $764,268 per year, with an award ceiling set at the same amount and no stated minimum award floor. ACF anticipates making a single award, meaning applicants are competing for one funded slot to serve the county. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, which is consistent with Head Start rules that typically require a non-federal share (often met through allowable in-kind contributions such as donated space, volunteer time, or other qualifying resources, depending on program guidance).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local entities that can realistically run a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local governments (city/township and county), federally recognized tribal governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled higher education institutions, private higher education institutions, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). The notice specifically highlights that community-based and faith-based organizations are eligible if they meet the standard requirements. At the same time, it clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from applying or receiving an award under this announcement.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application deadline of August 14, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing was archived on August 15, 2012, which typically indicates the competition window is closed and the opportunity is no longer accepting applications.
