Opportunity Summary:
The NEA AccessAbility Program Announcement (FY 2009) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) designed to expand access to arts careers and arts participation for people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals in healthcare settings. Rather than funding a single broad program, the announcement covers three distinct national projects administered by the NEA AccessAbility Office, which coordinates with public and private partners to improve accessibility, inclusion, and professional opportunity within the arts sector. The NEA planned to make one award for each of the three projects, with the possibility that each grant could be renewed for up to four additional years depending on NEA priorities, available funding, and the grantees performance.
The three projects supported under this announcement are: Statewide Forums on Careers in the Arts for Individuals with Disabilities, which focuses on career development and professional pathways in the arts for people with disabilities; Access to Design Professions, which targets improved entry and participation in design-related fields and opportunities (such as architecture or other design professions) for people with disabilities; and the Arts in Healthcare Consultancy Program, which supports arts programming in healthcare environments by strengthening the capacity of organizations to plan and deliver arts-in-healthcare work. Collectively, these projects emphasize both employment and professional advancement in arts-related careers and expanded, meaningful arts engagement for populations that often face structural barriers to access.
Funding details indicate an expected total of three awards. Individual awards were anticipated to fall between $50,000 (award floor) and $75,000 (award ceiling). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants needed to provide non-federal support as part of the overall project budget. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 45.024, Promotion of the ArtsGrants to Organizations and Individuals. The opportunity was posted on July 14, 2008, with an application deadline of August 27, 2008, and an archive date of September 26, 2008.
Eligibility was open to a range of U.S.-based organizations and government entities, including nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations (other than higher education institutions), public and private institutions of higher education, and units of state, local, or tribal government (including federally recognized tribal governments). To qualify, applicants had to meet the NEAs legal requirements for nonprofit or eligible governmental status as described in the FY 2009 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines at the time of application. Applicants also needed at least a three-year history of experience directly related to the specific project area they were applying for, and they had to be in good standing with the NEA by having submitted acceptable final reports for any prior NEA awards by the required due dates.
In practical terms, this announcement sought well-established organizations with demonstrated expertise in accessibility-related arts work, career development, design access, or arts-in-healthcare programming, and with the capacity to deliver projects with national relevance or replicable models. The NEA directed applicants and interested parties to additional background information through the Accessibility section of the NEA website, and provided a contact point for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
