Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Head Start, invites organizations to compete to become the Head Start grantee serving the Towns of Del Norte, Plaza, and South Fork in Rio Grande County, Colorado. The goal is to fund a single provider that can deliver comprehensive Head Start services to eligible children and their families in those communities, consistent with the Head Start program model, which typically includes early childhood education, health and developmental screenings, family support services, and strong parent and community engagement.
The announcement is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0753) under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), categorized under Income Security and Social Services. ACF anticipated making one award, with annual funding set at $534,653. Notably, the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $534,653, which generally signals that ACF is targeting a single, specific annual funding level for the successful applicant rather than offering a broad funding range. The opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet Head Start matching expectations (commonly satisfied through allowable non-federal share, including certain in-kind contributions, depending on program rules and the final notice of award).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can operate a community-based early childhood program. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status, with certain distinctions), faith-based and community-based organizations that meet federal eligibility requirements, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. It also lists county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. At the same time, the notice makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
