The service area named in the announcement includes Bingham, Bonneville, Canyon, Cassia, Clark, Elmore, Freemont, Gem, Gooding, Jefferson, Jerome, Madison, Minidoka, Owyhee, Payette, Power, Twin Falls, and Washington Counties, meaning applicants are expected to be capable of operating and coordinating services that reach migrant and seasonal communities within these locations.
ACF anticipates making up to three awards, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $7,675,514. The award ceiling is listed as $7,675,514 and the award floor is $500,000, which signals that awards could vary substantially depending on the scope of the proposed service delivery model and the number of children and families served. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start's focus on comprehensive early childhood programming. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to document and support non-federal contributions in accordance with Head Start grant rules and the specific requirements described in the full funding announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies operating in the community, along with a range of other entity types such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Nonprofits may apply whether or not they have IRS 501(c)(3) status (with the notice explicitly listing nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3), other than institutions of higher education). At the same time, the opportunity clearly excludes applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, and from foreign entities; those submissions are stated to be ineligible and would be disqualified from competitive review.
