Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is offering a single discretionary cooperative agreement to support the planning and delivery of the 2010 NEA Jazz Masters Announcement and Awards Ceremony Concert, along with related public activities. The NEA Jazz Masters awards are described as the highest national honor given to jazz musicians in the United States, recognizing living artists who have made exceptional contributions to the art form. Selections are based on nominations submitted by the public, including members of the jazz community. For 2010, the NEA anticipates honoring up to five jazz musicians and one additional honoree recognized as a jazz advocate, and it is seeking one partner organization to coordinate the announcement, ceremony, concert, and associated programming.
This opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS0802 under CFDA 45.024 (Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals). The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the NEA expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordinating on planning elements, deliverables, timelines, and public presentation requirements. Only one award is expected, and the funding amount is fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed at $265,000, indicating a single, set award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities, specifically: nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and private institutions of higher education, and units of government including city or township governments, county governments, state governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement further clarifies that applicants must be U.S. organizations that are either nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) entities, units of state or local government, or federally recognized tribal communities or tribes.
To qualify, an applicant must meet the NEA's legal requirements at the time of application, demonstrate at least three years of experience in performing arts presenting and producing prior to the application deadline, and be up to date on grant compliance, meaning it must have submitted acceptable final report packages by the due dates for any prior NEA awards. These requirements signal that the NEA is looking for an experienced producing/presenting organization with proven capacity to manage a major national event and comply with federal grant administration standards.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on July 10, 2008, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of August 28, 2008, and an archive date of September 27, 2008.
