Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant opportunity titled "NEA FY2009 Access to Artistic Excellence, Deadline 1" (Funding Opportunity Number 2008NEA01AAE1) is a discretionary grant program under CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals. The program is designed to support projects that advance artistic creativity, help preserve the nations diverse cultural heritage, and expand public access to the arts in communities across the United States. The NEA notes that while a project may emphasize one of these aims, many of the strongest proposals are those that combine high artistic quality with clear strategies for reaching more people.
Funding is intended for arts projects that do one or more of the following: provide opportunities for artists to create, refine, perform, and exhibit work; present artistic works representing all cultures and historical periods; preserve significant works of art and cultural traditions; help arts organizations and artists expand and diversify their audiences; increase opportunities for individuals to experience and participate in a wide range of art forms; strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of arts organizations and artists; and use the arts as a tool for community strengthening. A major emphasis of this category is extending arts opportunities to underserved populations, defined as groups whose access to the arts is limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. The announcement notes that this priority is supported in part through Challenge America: Reaching Every Community funds.
Awards in this opportunity range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $100,000, and the program requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants must provide non-federal resources to meet the required match. The posting and creation date for the opportunity is January 9, 2008, with an application deadline (Closing Date) of March 10, 2008, and an archive date of April 9, 2008.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of U.S.-based organizations and public entities, including nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private and public institutions of higher education, local education agencies such as independent school districts, city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, state governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The NEA also indicates that applicants may include arts organizations, local arts agencies, arts service organizations, school districts, and other organizations capable of advancing NEA goals.
To qualify, applicants must meet the NEAs legal eligibility requirements, including having nonprofit tax-exempt status at the time of application where applicable. Organizations must apply on their own behalf; fiscal agent arrangements are not allowed. Applicants also must demonstrate a three-year history of programming prior to the application deadline and must be current on final reporting requirements for any previous NEA grants, with acceptable final report packages submitted by required due dates. A key application rule included in the announcement is that an organization may submit only one application, and it must be through only one of the FY 2009 Grants for Arts Projects categories.
