Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Head Start Replacement Grantee Dinwiddie, Virginia" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0103), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to identify a new organization to operate Head Start services in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. The main goal is continuity: ACF is seeking a replacement grantee so Head Start services can continue in the community after being previously provided by Dinwiddie County Public Schools. The award is a discretionary grant under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) within the broader category of Income Security and Social Services, and ACF expected to make one award.
The funding level available was listed as $563,115 per year, which also served as the award ceiling, with no stated award floor. Applicants were asked to design and propose a high-quality Head Start program using the total funding amount, including proposing what they believe is the maximum number of children and families they can effectively serve. For context, the former grantee operated with a funded enrollment of 72 children and families, but the announcement makes clear that applicants have flexibility to propose an enrollment level they can support responsibly within the available budget and Head Start performance expectations.
Eligibility was limited to local organizations capable of delivering Head Start services within Dinwiddie County. That includes local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. While the opportunity listing also displays a broad set of entity types commonly recognized in federal grant systems, the specific eligibility language emphasizes local community-based capacity to serve Dinwiddie County children and families. Individuals and foreign entities were explicitly not eligible to apply. The announcement also indicated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants needed to plan for meeting Head Start non-federal share requirements as part of their proposal.
Key dates for the competition show the opportunity was posted and created on March 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 23, 2010.
