Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced a single cooperative agreement opportunity to select one organization to plan and deliver the 2015 NEA Jazz Masters Announcement, Awards Ceremony and Concert, along with related public-facing activities. The NEA Jazz Masters Awards are described as the nation highest honor for jazz musicians, recognizing living legends whose work has significantly advanced the art form. Awardees are chosen based on nominations submitted by the public, including the jazz community. For the 2015 cycle, the NEA expected to honor up to three jazz musicians plus one additional honoree designated as a jazz advocate, and the funded organization would be responsible for coordinating the events that present and celebrate those honorees.
The project timeline was tied to Jazz Appreciation Month, with the main Awards Ceremony and Concert planned for April 2015. Although applicants could propose hosting the events in any US city, the NEA stated a clear preference for proposals that place the venue in Washington, DC. NEA support for the funded project could begin on or after June 1, 2014, meaning the cooperative agreement was intended to cover the planning runway leading up to the April 2015 events as well as execution and wrap-up. The notice also indicated that the NEA might pursue additional cooperative agreements with the same recipient in the future, but only if agency priorities and funding allowed and if performance under the initial agreement was strong.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary funding program under CFDA 45.024 (Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals) and used a cooperative agreement instrument, signaling that NEA involvement and coordination would be more hands-on than a standard grant. The competition anticipated one award total. The funding amount was fixed, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at 245,000 dollars, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. In practice, that means applicants were expected to design a project scope that fit the set federal amount, rather than proposing a wide range of budgets.
Eligibility was open to a broad mix of US-based organizational types, including nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations (other than higher education institutions), public and private institutions of higher education, and units of government at the city, county, township, special district, and state levels, as well as federally recognized tribal governments. Beyond basic organizational eligibility, applicants also had to meet the NEA legal requirements at the time of application, demonstrate at least three years of prior experience in performing arts presenting and producing, and be current on compliance with the NEA, meaning any required final reports for previous NEA awards had to have been submitted and accepted by their due dates. The solicitation limited applicants to one proposal under this specific program announcement, though it explicitly allowed organizations to apply simultaneously to other NEA opportunities (such as Art Works and Our Town) as long as each application described a distinctly different project.
The application was posted November 25, 2013, and the submission deadline was January 2, 2014, with the requirement that Grants.gov receive a validated and accepted application by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was later archived February 1, 2014. The funding opportunity number was NEAPS1302, and the sponsoring agency was the National Endowment for the Arts. For applicants who could not access the full announcement online, the notice directed them to contact the NEA Web Manager for assistance.
