Opportunity Summary:
The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee - Minnesota and North Dakota opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CM-R12-0519) is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to fund organizations that will deliver Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services to eligible pregnant women, infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, and their families who reside in Minnesota and North Dakota. The focus of MSHS is to support children and families who are part of migrant or seasonal agricultural workforces, and the funding is intended to ensure access to comprehensive early childhood services that fit the realities of mobile and seasonally employed families.
ACF anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $7,957,663. The award ceiling is listed as $7,957,663 and the award floor is $0, indicating awards could vary in size up to the total amount available, depending on how services are proposed and how the funding is structured across one or more grantees. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet non-federal share obligations consistent with Head Start rules (typically through allowable in-kind contributions and/or other non-federal resources, as permitted in program regulations and the specific announcement).
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies operating within the community, provided they meet the eligibility requirements described in the announcement. The eligibility list includes, among others, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, independent school districts, county governments, city or township governments, public and Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this competition.

Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
