Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Racine County, Wisconsin" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0717), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to fund organizations that can operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Racine County, Wisconsin. It is a discretionary grant under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose is to select one or more capable local providers to deliver comprehensive Head Start program services in the community, consistent with federal Head Start requirements.
ACF made available an estimated total of $3,686,816 per year to support these services, with an award ceiling equal to the full amount and an award floor of $500,000. The announcement anticipated up to two awards, meaning ACF expected either to fund one lead provider at the full level or split the service area and funding between two providers depending on what applications proposed and what ACF determined would best meet community needs. Because this is Head Start funding, the opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reflects the Head Start non-federal share expectation that programs contribute a portion of the total project cost through allowable cash and/or in-kind contributions.
Eligibility was broad and designed to allow many types of local entities to compete, including public and private nonprofits, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and certain for-profit agencies. The eligible applicant list included small businesses, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, city or township governments, county governments, and independent school districts. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award. Faith-based organizations were explicitly stated as eligible if they meet the standard eligibility requirements, and applicants were directed to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
The posting and application timeline shows this competition opened on July 23, 2013, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on November 20, 2013, indicating the application window had closed and the competition moved into review, selection, and award phases.
For prospective applicants needing more details about the program requirements or service expectations in Racine County, the announcement provided a program contact route through the Office of Head Start Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
