Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is inviting organizations to apply for a discretionary grant to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Peoria County, Illinois. This opportunity is designed to fund comprehensive early childhood services that Head Start grantees are expected to deliver, typically including early learning and school readiness programming, health and developmental screenings and referrals, family engagement and support services, and coordination with community partners so families can access needed resources. The intent is to select one or more qualified local providers that can meet federal Head Start Program Performance Standards while serving the needs of children and families in the county.
The funding opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACF OHS CH R05 0387, with the title "Head Start Grantee - Peoria County, Illinois." The activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The estimated total annual funding available is $4,631,998, and the award ceiling is also $4,631,998, meaning a single applicant could potentially be funded up to that amount depending on the structure of awards and the approved service plan. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates there is no stated minimum award amount, though awards are typically aligned with the approved scope of services and funded enrollment.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies to this announcement, which is consistent with Head Start's non-federal share expectations. In practice, this means applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet applicable matching requirements (often through allowable in-kind contributions or other non-federal resources), following federal rules and Head Start guidance.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the capacity to operate a Head Start program. Eligible applicants include local public and private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are specifically listed, though small businesses are also included in the eligible applicant list). Public entities such as county governments, 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 are also listed as eligible. The announcement explicitly notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this competition.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an application closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing was archived on July 19, 2012, indicating the submission window has closed, but the record remains useful for understanding the program and historical funding levels.
