Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering a discretionary Head Start replacement grant to ensure uninterrupted Head Start services for eligible children and families in Eastern Oklahoma, specifically in Adair, Cherokee, Sequoyah, and McIntosh Counties. This competition is being run to continue the same general scope of services that were previously delivered in this area by the former grantee, Cookson Hills Community Action Foundation (CAF), Inc. The opportunity is structured as a single award competition, meaning ACF expects to fund one organization to operate the Head Start program across the defined service area.
The annual funding amount available is estimated at $3,522,432, which also serves as the maximum (award ceiling) for the grant. The prior program served a funded enrollment level of 615 children and families, and applicants should expect that ACF is looking for a proposal capable of supporting a comparable service capacity and meeting all Head Start performance, program, and fiscal requirements. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing tied to this opportunity is CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to describe the non-federal share approach consistent with Head Start rules.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility requirements), as well as certain for-profit organizations. Eligible entity types explicitly listed include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, and local governments such as county and city/township governments. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-0234 and an original/current closing date of July 12, 2011.
