Opportunity Summary:
The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee - Missouri and Wisconsin opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R12-0762) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The purpose of the funding is to support organizations that will deliver Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services for eligible children and families living in Missouri and Wisconsin, focusing on the unique needs of families who move for agricultural or seasonal work. The program sits within the broader Head Start framework (CFDA 93.600) and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
ACF anticipated making two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $2,842,550. The award ceiling is listed as $2,842,550 and the award floor as $500,000, which signals that awards could vary significantly in size depending on the proposed service area, number of children served, and the applicant's proposed approach and capacity. The announcement also notes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share expectations that typically accompany Head Start grants (often through allowable in-kind contributions and other approved sources, depending on program rules).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of local entities that can operate early childhood programs, as long as they meet the program requirements and are able to deliver services within the affected communities. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and a range of governmental and education entities such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and public or private institutions of higher education. Faith-based organizations are explicitly welcomed, with ACF pointing applicants to its policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards.
Timing details in the source data show the opportunity was posted on July 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2013. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
