Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant for Frederick County, Maryland is a competitive federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to select a new organization to keep Head Start services operating in Frederick County after the prior grantee, the Board of Frederick County Commissioners, previously delivered the program. In practical terms, this grant is meant to maintain continuity of comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children and families in the same service area, rather than launching an entirely new initiative or expanding to a different region.
Funding is available at an estimated total of $2,166,701 per year, with an award ceiling matching that annual amount. A single award is expected, and the prior program level referenced in the announcement supported an enrollment of 282 children and families, which gives applicants a clear sense of the scale of services ACF is seeking to sustain. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start), is categorized as discretionary funding, and uses a grant funding instrument. It also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee must meet Head Start non-federal share rules as described in the full program guidance and announcement.
Eligibility is broad within the local service context. ACF invites applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including qualifying faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The eligible applicant types listed also include county and other local governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
The original posting date was August 2, 2011, and the application closing date was October 3, 2011, with a strict electronic submission deadline of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time for applications submitted through Grants.gov. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2011-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0261, and the opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011.
