Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee Dinwiddie County, Virginia" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OHS-CH-0310), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant intended to fund one organization to take over and continue Head Start services in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, replacing the prior grantee, Dinwiddie County Public Schools. The main purpose is continuity: keeping Head Start program services available for eligible children and families in the county at levels comparable to what the former grantee provided.
ACF made approximately $546,690 per year available for this project, with an award ceiling of $546,690 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipated making a single award. The former grantee served a total funded enrollment of 72 children and families, which effectively signals the expected scale of programming that applicants should be prepared to operate. The funding falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The announcement also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet Head Start non-federal share rules as described in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is focused on organizations within the community to be served that can realistically deliver Head Start services in Dinwiddie County. ACF invited applications from local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based organizations) and also allowed local for-profit organizations to apply. The broader eligibility list included entities such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, special district governments, small businesses, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments, along with certain higher-education institutions and minority-serving institutions noted in the eligibility information. Foreign entities were explicitly not eligible. Even with the broad list, the core limitation repeated throughout the notice is that applicants must be local and capable of providing Head Start services to children and families residing in Dinwiddie County, Virginia.
The posting date and creation date were April 18, 2008. The application closing date was June 16, 2008, with an important submission constraint for electronic filings: applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on July 16, 2008. For pre-application materials and further guidance, interested applicants were directed to contact the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. The notice also provided a pathway for people who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, listing Shawna Pinckey (OHS@dixongroup.com) as a point of contact.
In addition to soliciting applicants, ACF invited public comments from parents and residents in the service area. These comments were meant to help ACF understand general community needs in Dinwiddie County rather than to campaign for or against any particular applicant. The instructions were to send comments to the ACYF Operations Center. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a competitive replacement grant designed to ensure Head Start services continue without interruption for a roughly 72-child enrollment footprint in Dinwiddie County, supported by an annual federal funding level of about $546,690 and governed by standard Head Start grant requirements, including non-federal share.
