Opportunity Summary:
The NEA 2016 Jazz Masters Fellowship Event opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS1401) was a discretionary National Endowment for the Arts cooperative agreement intended to support a single organization in producing a high-profile, free public event honoring the 2016 NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship awardees. The project reflects the NEA's role as the nation's cultural agency and its long-standing commitment to jazz as a uniquely American art form with major influence worldwide. In practice, the funded organization would serve as the NEA's partner to plan, coordinate, and deliver the public-facing celebration and any related activities specified in the full announcement, with an emphasis on broad public access and national visibility.
The event itself had very specific program requirements. It had to occur during April 2016 to align with the 15th anniversary of Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM), a national initiative that highlights jazz's legacy and continuing relevance. The venue also had to be located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, intentionally tying the Jazz Masters celebration to the NEA's year-long 50th anniversary observance (October 2015 through 2016). To expand reach beyond the physical audience, the event was required to be webcast live, positioning the program for national and global audiences and reinforcing the idea of jazz musicians as cultural ambassadors.
Funding was fixed rather than a range: the award floor and award ceiling were both listed at $300,000, meaning the NEA anticipated making one $300,000 cooperative agreement award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is notable because many federal arts opportunities require some level of matching funds. The period of performance for the cooperative agreement was expected to begin on or after June 1, 2015, and could extend through June 30, 2016, giving the selected partner time to plan, produce, and close out reporting for an April 2016 event.
Eligibility was open to U.S. nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (excluding institutions of higher education as that specific nonprofit category), as well as units of state or local government and federally recognized tribal communities or tribes. Applicants needed to meet the NEA's legal requirements at the time of application and demonstrate at least three years of experience in performing arts presenting and producing prior to the deadline, a requirement that signals the NEA was looking for an established presenter with demonstrated event-production capacity. Applicants also had to be in good standing with the NEA on prior awards, including having submitted acceptable final report packages by the required due dates for any previous NEA funding. Only one proposal per organization was allowed under this specific solicitation, though applicants could still apply to other NEA programs (such as Art Works or Our Town) as long as each application described a distinctly different project.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 9, 2014. The opportunity was posted October 28, 2014, created October 31, 2014, and archived January 8, 2015. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals. The administering agency was the National Endowment for the Arts, and additional details were available through the NEA's full website announcement, with the NEA Web Manager listed as a contact for access issues.
