Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) issued this notice to extend the application deadline for its Access to Artistic Excellence program (FY2009) because of technical problems with Grants.gov, the federal online grant submission system. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number 2008NEA01AAE4 and falls under CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals. It is a discretionary grant program in the arts and cultural affairs space, with an expected 200 awards and a required cost share or matching component.
The key change in this announcement is the deadline extension: the revised closing date for submitting the application through Grants.gov is August 26, 2008. For any materials that must be mailed directly to the NEA (separate from the Grants.gov submission), the NEA set a related mailing deadline of August 27, 2008, meaning mailed items must be postmarked or otherwise show proof of mailing by that date. The original Access to Artistic Excellence deadline of August 11 had already passed, and the NEA emphasized that this extension was specifically to address submission issues caused by Grants.gov technical difficulties.
A major practical instruction in the notice is that applicants cannot reuse an application package that was previously completed for the August 11 deadline. According to the NEA, Grants.gov would not accept a package that had already been completed under the prior deadline cycle, so applicants needed to start fresh with a new application package. To do that, applicants were directed to download a new package using the link in the NEA application guidelines or by going to the Grants.gov forms page (apply07.grants.gov) and searching for the opportunity by its Funding Opportunity Number, 2008NEA01AAE4.
The NEA also gave a very specific warning about how to fill out the new forms: applicants should enter information directly into the Grants.gov forms and should not copy and paste content from an old application package or from another document into the new forms. The notice states that copying and pasting could interfere with a successful electronic submission. At the same time, the NEA clarified that organizations that had already successfully submitted an application through Grants.gov did not need to submit again.
In terms of funding scope, the opportunity listed an award floor of $5,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000. Eligible applicants were broad and included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and private institutions of higher education, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city or township, special district), as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and independent school districts. The announcement itself is primarily administrative and deadline-focused rather than a full program narrative, and it points readers to the NEA website announcement for additional information.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the NEA provided a support contact: the National Endowment for the Arts Web Manager at (202) 682-5794. The posting date and creation date for this deadline-extension notice were both August 19, 2008, and the opportunity was archived on September 25, 2008.
