Opportunity Summary:
The NEA GAP Art Works, FY2013 opportunity is a discretionary grant program from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) designed to support arts projects that create high-quality artistic work, connect people to the arts, build arts learning over a lifetime, and strengthen communities through arts activity. The program frames its central purpose in the phrase "Art works," emphasizing three ideas at once: art works as the creation of artistic works by artists, art works as something that affects people by inspiring and changing them, and art works as a contributor to the real economy through real jobs.
A key participation rule is that an organization may submit only one application total under the FY2013 Grants for Arts Projects umbrella, choosing either the Art Works category or the Challenge America Fast Track category, but not both. Projects supported through this opportunity must have an allowable start date on or after January 1, 2013, which matters for planning, budgeting, and scheduling any funded activities.
Applications are structured around four NEA outcomes, and applicants are required to select the outcome that best matches what their project is intended to achieve. The four outcomes are Creation (supporting the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence), Engagement (increasing public engagement with diverse and excellent art), Learning (supporting lifelong learning in the arts), and Livability (strengthening communities through the arts). Applicants may also select a secondary outcome, but Arts Education applicants must choose Learning as the primary outcome. The program also makes clear that if funding is awarded, the grantee will later be expected to provide evidence showing the selected results were actually achieved, so applicants need to think early about evaluation and documentation.
Funding levels for this program range from an award floor of $10,000 to an award ceiling of $100,000, and cost sharing or matching is required, meaning NEA funds must be matched with non-federal resources consistent with program rules. The funding is listed under CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals, and the opportunity number is 2012NEA01AW1.
Eligibility is broad but specific. Applicants may include nonprofit U.S. organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state and local government units (including county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Beyond fitting into an eligible applicant type, organizations must meet the NEA's legal requirements for nonprofit or public status at the time of application, must apply directly on their own behalf (applications through a fiscal agent are not allowed), must demonstrate a three-year history of programming before the deadline, and must be up to date on final report requirements for any prior NEA awards.
The application deadline for this FY2013 cycle required submission through Grants.gov, with the system receiving a validated and accepted application no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 8, 2012. The opportunity was posted and created on January 4, 2012, and archived on April 7, 2012. For applicants needing the full official details, the listing points to the NEA complete website announcement and provides a contact route through the NEA Web Manager for access issues.
