Opportunity Summary:
The NEA Arts on Radio and Television, FY 2010 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2009NEA01ARTV) is a National Endowment for the Arts discretionary grant program designed to make high-quality, diverse arts programming broadly accessible to the American public through nationally distributed television and radio. The core goal is national reach: the NEA is looking for programs that can be distributed beyond a local market and that showcase artistic excellence both in the content being presented (the art form and subject matter) and in the quality of the media production itself. While applicant size or geographic location does not matter, the program gives priority to projects that can realistically reach a significant national audience and that demonstrate strong artistic merit.
Funding can support many types of broadcast-ready arts programming, including major multi-part television or radio series, single documentaries, performance-based programs, or arts segments that will be incorporated into an existing series. The subject matter can involve essentially any artistic discipline, including visual arts, music, dance, literature, design, theater, musical theater, opera, film/video/audio art, and folk or traditional arts. Programs created specifically for children and youth are explicitly welcomed. The NEA allows support across the full life cycle of an eligible project, meaning applicants can request funds for research and development, production, project completion, and national distribution expenses. The NEA indicated that grant-supported project activity may begin on or after May 1, 2010.
A notable feature of this opportunity is its openness to “ancillary” or companion activities that deepen public understanding and expand access to the arts beyond the initial broadcast. The announcement encourages proposals that build engagement through related radio and television components and also through digital and educational extensions, such as interactive websites, DVDs, streaming distribution, video on demand, podcasts, and other digital applications. It also highlights the value of educational materials and collaborations with arts organizations, educators, and community groups, as well as distribution pathways that can bring content into schools, libraries, homes, and other community settings. In other words, the program is not limited to airing a finished program; it supports thoughtful strategies for outreach, learning, and broader public impact tied to the broadcast project.
At the same time, the NEA clearly defines what it will not support under these guidelines. Direct grants to individuals are not allowed. Projects aimed primarily at local distribution are not eligible, since the program is built around national distribution. The NEA also excludes films or tapes produced mainly for non-broadcast purposes, such as instructional videos, films meant to accompany museum exhibitions, or recordings intended for theatrical exhibition rather than broadcast. Simple documentation or straightforward recordings of performances or events made primarily for archival purposes are also ineligible. Additionally, the announcement warns that certain costs connected to foreign nationals or international travel may be disallowed if they do not comply with U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations, and it directs applicants to OFAC resources or the NEA Grants and Contracts Office for guidance.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (other than institutions of higher education, which are listed separately as eligible in their own right), units of state or local government, and federally recognized tribal governments or communities. Public and private institutions of higher education are also eligible, along with a range of government entities such as cities or townships, counties, independent school districts, special district governments, and state governments. To qualify, an organization must meet the NEA’s legal requirements (including having the required nonprofit status at the time of application, when applicable), must apply on its own behalf (fiscal agents are not permitted), and must be up to date with acceptable final report packages for any prior NEA awards. The NEA notes that an organization may submit more than one application under these Arts on Radio and Television guidelines, but each application must be for a distinctly different project; organizations considering multiple submissions are encouraged to consult NEA Media Arts staff in advance. Applying to this program does not prevent an organization from applying to other NEA funding opportunities (including Grants for Arts Projects) as long as each application proposes a separate project.
Key administrative details include a required cost share or matching component, and award amounts ranging from a $10,000 minimum to a $200,000 maximum. The application deadline for this cycle was September 3, 2009, with submission required electronically through Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The NEA strongly advised applicants to submit at least 10 days early to allow time to resolve technical issues, emphasized that late applications would not be accepted, and noted Grants.gov customer service hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). The opportunity was posted May 11, 2009, and archived October 3, 2009. The program is associated with CFDA 45.024 (Promotion of the Arts: Grants to Organizations and Individuals).
