Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - San Mateo County, California" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R09-0435), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to select one or more organizations to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in San Mateo County, California. The program falls under the broader public service area of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.600 (Head Start). The announcement indicates ACF anticipated making up to two awards.
The core funding available is listed as $5,633,810 per year to deliver Head Start program services in the county. The opportunity is structured as a grant, with an annual award ceiling of $5,633,810 and an award floor of $0, which typically signals that actual award amounts depend on the applicant's proposed service design, funded enrollment, and approval of the budget. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee(s) must meet Head Start non-federal share requirements as part of program operations. While the notice does not spell out the match percentage in the excerpt, Head Start grants commonly require a non-federal share that can be met through allowable cash and in-kind contributions, subject to federal rules and documentation standards.
Eligibility is broad but still limited to organizational applicants rather than individuals. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based and faith-based organizations that meet federal eligibility requirements, and for-profit agencies operating in the community. The eligible applicant types listed include county governments; city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; small businesses; and other for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this solicitation.
Timing details in the notice show it was posted and created on April 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2012, which generally indicates the application window has closed and the listing is preserved for recordkeeping and reference rather than active competition.
For applicants needing more information about the program or competition, the notice points to two main contacts. Program-related questions or requests for additional information could be directed to the Office of Head Start Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org.
