Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families in Powhatan County and the Cities of Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia. The program falls under the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category and is tied to the Head Start CFDA number 93.600. The purpose is straightforward: ACF is seeking capable local providers that can deliver comprehensive Head Start program services in these specific communities, following all federal Head Start requirements.
The total amount available is listed as $6,409,212 per year, with an award ceiling of $6,409,212 and an award floor of $0. ACF anticipated making up to two awards, which generally suggests they may fund more than one grantee to cover the full service area or to divide service responsibilities in a way that best meets local needs. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement indicates that a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee(s) should be prepared to meet non-federal share requirements consistent with Head Start rules (for example, through allowable in-kind contributions or other approved sources, depending on program regulations and the specific award terms).
Eligibility is broad within the local service area context. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) and also allows for-profit agencies to apply, as long as they meet the program and eligibility requirements. The eligible applicant types listed include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, independent school districts, city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this opportunity.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of August 14, 2012. Electronically submitted applications were required to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, and the opportunity archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating it is no longer open. The Funding Opportunity Number is HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0338, and the title is “Head Start Grantee - Powhatan County, and the Cities of Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia.” The estimated total funding matches the annual amount cited, $6,409,212, reinforcing that the award is designed to support ongoing annual Head Start operations rather than a small short-term project.
For organizations that needed more details during the competition period, ACF directed interested applicants to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org for additional information. For technical issues accessing or submitting the announcement electronically, applicants were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
