Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Grantee - Utah" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R12-0770), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant in the Income Security and Social Services category and supports the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose is to fund organizations that will operate Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) services for eligible children and families living in Utah, focusing on the needs of communities with migrant and seasonal farmwork patterns.
ACF is seeking applications from a wide range of local entities that can provide Head Start comprehensive services, including local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations) as well as for-profit agencies operating within the community. The announcement makes clear that faith-based organizations are eligible as long as they meet the program requirements, and applicants are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance related to grants for faith-based organizations. At the same time, certain applicants are specifically excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships cannot apply or receive awards under this funding announcement.
The funding level offered is substantial: an estimated total of $4,499,033 per year is available to support Migrant and Seasonal Head Start services in Utah. The award ceiling is listed as $4,499,033, and the award floor is $500,000. ACF anticipated making up to two awards, meaning the total annual amount could potentially be split among more than one grantee depending on how awards are structured. The opportunity also indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to plan for and document the required non-federal share in line with Head Start rules and the specific instructions in the full announcement.
The eligible applicant categories listed are broad and include small businesses; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and various units of local government such as city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. This mix reflects ACF's intent to allow many types of capable local operators to compete, as long as they can meet Migrant and Seasonal Head Start performance standards and deliver comprehensive services to eligible children and families.
Key dates show this was a time-limited competitive announcement. It was posted on July 23, 2013, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of October 21, 2013. The notice specifies that electronic submissions were due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was archived on November 20, 2013, indicating it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the program scope and the type of organizations ACF seeks for MSHS funding.
