Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee Charleston, South Carolina opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0101) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select one or more organizations to continue delivering Head Start services in Charleston County, South Carolina. The purpose is continuity: ACF is seeking a replacement provider to take over services previously delivered by the former grantee, Berkeley Dorchester Counties Economic Development Corporation, so that eligible children and families in the county continue receiving comprehensive Head Start programming with as little disruption as possible.
Funding is substantial and structured as annual support. ACF indicates an estimated total funding amount of $6,401,063 per year, with an award ceiling listed at the same amount ($6,401,063) and no stated award floor. The announcement anticipates up to two awards, which suggests ACF may split the service area, the enrollment, or program components across multiple providers if that best maintains service continuity and quality. The prior funded enrollment referenced in the notice is 1,001 children and families, which signals the scale of operations applicants should be prepared to sustain (including staffing, facilities, education services, family support, health and developmental services, and the other comprehensive Head Start requirements).
Eligible applicants are primarily local entities capable of serving the Charleston County community. ACF specifically highlights local public or private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, as well as local for-profit organizations, as eligible to apply if they can provide Head Start services in the target area. While the listing in the source data includes many organizational types (for example, certain government entities, school districts, higher education institutions, and various nonprofit categories), the eligibility narrative clarifies the intent: the applicant must be positioned locally to deliver Head Start in Charleston County. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible. The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations under Head Start funding rules.
Key dates in the original posting show it was posted March 24, 2010, with an application deadline of May 24, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, the notice stresses a firm cutoff time of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is listed as June 23, 2010, indicating the announcement is historical, but the summary remains useful as a reference for how ACF structures replacement grantee competitions.
For organizations considering applying (at the time of the announcement), ACF directed interested applicants to request pre-application materials and additional guidance by contacting the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. For technical trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provided the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
