Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grant for Madison County, Indiana is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intended to keep Head Start services going in Madison County after the prior grantee, Urban League of Madison County, Inc., stopped serving as the funded provider. The goal is continuity: selecting a new organization to operate the local Head Start program at a level comparable to what families previously received, rather than launching a brand-new or experimental program model. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and the funding activity area is Income Security and Social Services.
ACF expected to make a single award for this service area, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $2,028,125. The award ceiling is also listed as $2,028,125, meaning the anticipated grant amount aligns with the full annual allocation available for the county. Historically, the former grantee served a funded enrollment of 306 children and families, and applicants are essentially competing to take over responsibility for delivering Head Start services at that scale (or as required by Head Start standards and the funding announcement). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document any required non-federal share and how it will be met in compliance with program rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public and private entities that can operate Head Start, such as county governments; city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly noted as eligible as long as they meet the general requirements. Ineligible applicants include individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships, which means an application has to come from an established organization with the appropriate legal status and operational capacity to run a comprehensive early childhood program.
Key dates and submission rules are clearly stated. The opportunity was posted May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of July 12, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, but the listing provides a record of the funding terms, eligibility, and how the competition was structured at that time.
To apply (or, at the time, to prepare an application), interested organizations were instructed to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance by calling the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The same pre-application materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, ACF provided an Applications Help Desk contact at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
