Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Williams, Divide, and McKenzie Counties, North Dakota" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2015-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-0971), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Williams, Divide, and McKenzie Counties in North Dakota. The program focus falls under the broader area of income security and social services, and the award is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services that Head Start programs are known for, including child development, family support, and related services designed to promote school readiness for children from low-income households.
ACF anticipates making one award, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $847,462. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $847,462, which effectively means the grant is structured around one planned funding level rather than a range of possible award sizes. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to document and commit the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start grant rules and the specific terms laid out in the full funding announcement.
A wide variety of applicant types are eligible to apply, reflecting the community-based nature of Head Start. Eligible applicants include local and tribal governments (including federally recognized Native American tribal governments), county and city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions for those categories), small businesses, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also listed as eligible). At the same time, the announcement clearly states that individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible, and foreign entities are also ineligible; applications from those parties will be disqualified from competitive review and will not be considered for funding.
The opportunity was posted on September 25, 2014, with an application due date of November 24, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing shows an archive date of December 24, 2014, indicating the competition is an older, time-limited solicitation rather than an open-ended or continuously accepting program.
For organizations considering whether they are the right fit to apply (or seeking historical context on this competition), the primary purpose is to fund an operator capable of delivering Head Start program services across the three identified counties, serving eligible children and engaging their families. ACF directs interested applicants to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center by email at DRS@headstartinfo.org for additional information. If an applicant has technical trouble accessing the full announcement or submitting materials electronically, the notice points to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The announcement also provides a link to the full opportunity details on the ACF grants site (as listed in the source data).
