Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF OHS CH R04 0688) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on selecting Head Start grantee(s) to deliver Head Start program services in Wilson, Nash, and Edgecombe Counties, North Carolina. The purpose is to fund an organization (or organizations) that can operate a compliant Head Start program serving eligible children and their families in these counties, consistent with Head Start performance standards and the broader goals of early childhood development, family support, and school readiness.
ACF indicates an expected total annual funding amount of $4,404,909 to support services in the service area, with an award ceiling listed at $4,404,909 and an award floor of $500,000. The announcement anticipates making up to two awards, meaning ACF could potentially split the service area or funded scope across two grantees depending on the applications received, proposed service approaches, and federal determinations about what best meets local needs. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the applicable CFDA number is 93.600 (Head Start). The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, which is typical for Head Start and generally means the grantee must meet a non-federal share requirement through allowable cash or in-kind contributions, subject to program rules and approvals.
Eligibility is broad and designed to allow a wide range of community providers to compete, as long as they meet the federal requirements. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3)), community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and for-profit agencies. Government entities such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education are also listed as eligible. At the same time, the notice is clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement. Faith-based organizations are explicitly encouraged to review ACF policy on grants to faith-based organizations, reinforcing that such organizations can compete as long as they follow applicable federal grant requirements and protections.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited competition: the opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
