Opportunity Summary:
The NEA GAP Art Works Deadline 2, FY2013 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2012NEA01AW2) was a discretionary grant program offered by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) under CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts: Grants to Organizations and Individuals. The program was built around the NEA's central theme, "Art Works," which frames the arts in three connected ways: as the creation of high-quality artistic work (a noun), as a force that affects and inspires people (a verb), and as a real contributor to the economy through jobs and related activity (a statement). Projects funded under this opportunity could begin on or after June 1, 2013, emphasizing that awards were intended to support future work rather than reimburse past activities.
Applicants were expected to design projects that clearly advanced at least one of four NEA outcomes, and to choose the outcome most closely aligned with the results their project aimed to deliver. The four outcomes were Creation (supporting the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence), Engagement (promoting public engagement with diverse and excellent art), Learning (supporting lifelong learning in the arts), and Livability (strengthening communities through the arts). Applicants could also identify a secondary outcome, but arts education proposals were required to select Learning as the primary outcome. The focus was not only on selecting an outcome category, but on articulating measurable or documentable results tied to that outcome, since grantees would later be asked to provide evidence demonstrating what their projects achieved.
Funding levels ranged from an award floor of $10,000 to an award ceiling of $100,000, and cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project budget. The official posting date and creation date for the opportunity were June 5, 2012. Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov, and the system needed to receive a validated and accepted application by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 9, 2012. The archive date for the opportunity was September 8, 2012.
Eligibility was open to a broad set of U.S.-based organizations and government entities, including nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that specific category), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, independent school districts, city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, state governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also clarified the types of entities that often apply, such as arts organizations, local arts agencies, arts service organizations, and local education agencies (school districts), as well as other organizations positioned to advance the NEA's goals.
To qualify, an applicant had to meet the NEA's legal requirements, including being a nonprofit tax-exempt organization at the time of application where applicable, or otherwise being an eligible unit of government or federally recognized tribe. A key administrative rule was that organizations had to apply directly on their own behalf; applications submitted through a fiscal agent were not permitted. The applicant also needed a three-year history of programming prior to the deadline, demonstrating organizational experience and capacity. In addition, organizations that had previously received NEA funding had to be current and compliant with past grant requirements, including having submitted acceptable final report packages for earlier NEA awards by their due dates.
Overall, this grant opportunity was designed to fund well-developed arts projects with clear public value, strong organizational capacity behind them, and a plan to show real results tied to one or more of the NEA's outcome areas. For applicants unable to access the full announcement online, the contact point listed was the NEA Web Manager via the NEA website announcement page.
