Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Grantee - U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John) funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start. It seeks applicants that can operate Head Start services for eligible children and families across the U.S. Virgin Islands, specifically on St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services category and is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services that align with Head Start requirements, such as early learning, health, family well-being supports, and other wraparound services that help children arrive at school ready to learn.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0458 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 93.600 (Head Start). ACF anticipated making about two awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available is $7,899,223 annually, and the stated award ceiling is also $7,899,223, meaning a single award could theoretically be as large as the full annual amount, depending on how ACF structures the awards and selects grantees. The award floor is listed as $0, which is a standard placeholder in many listings and does not mean a $0 award would be made in practice.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined to include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations that meet eligibility requirements, and for-profit agencies. The eligibility list also includes certain governmental and quasi-governmental entities and education-related institutions, such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and small businesses, as well as for-profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this opportunity.
A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," which means applicants should be prepared to meet whatever non-federal share rules apply for Head Start awards and to document how they will satisfy those requirements in their application budget and supporting narratives. In practical terms, this usually involves showing allowable sources of match and a credible plan for tracking and reporting match in compliance with federal grant rules and Head Start program guidance.
The opportunity was posted on May 16, 2012, with an original (and current) closing date of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a strict deadline common to federal competitions. The archive date is August 15, 2012, indicating the listing is no longer active, but the summary still reflects how the competition was structured and what ACF sought at the time.
For applicants looking for more details while the competition was open, ACF pointed interested parties to the full funding announcement via an additional information link on the ACF grants site, and also offered a direct email contact for program-related questions through the Office of Head Start Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. For technical problems accessing the announcement or submitting materials electronically, applicants were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
