Opportunity Summary:
The NEA Media Arts on Radio and Television (FY2009) grant opportunity is a National Endowment for the Arts discretionary program designed to broaden public access to high-quality arts content through nationally distributed television and radio. The central aim is to make the excellence and diversity of the arts widely available across the United States by supporting projects that can reach substantial national audiences. While the NEA emphasizes national reach, it also makes clear that applicant size or geographic location does not determine competitiveness; priority goes to projects that demonstrate strong artistic excellence and merit in both the media production itself and in the artistic subject being presented.
Funding under this category can be used for a wide range of arts-focused broadcast and audio-visual projects, including multi-part television or radio series, single documentaries, performance-based programs, or arts segments produced for inclusion within an existing series. The subject matter can cover essentially any art form, such as visual arts, music, dance, literature, design, theater, musical theater, opera, film/video/audio art, and folk or traditional arts. The program also explicitly welcomes projects created for children and youth, signaling openness to educational and youth-oriented arts programming when the content and production values are strong.
A notable feature of this opportunity is that it supports all phases of a project. Applicants may request support for research and development, production, completion, and distribution, which can include national distribution-related costs. In addition to the core broadcast or program deliverables, the NEA encourages proposals that include ancillary activities intended to deepen public knowledge, understanding, and access to the arts. Examples listed in the announcement include related radio or television programming, interactive websites, DVDs or other digital applications, educational materials, partnerships with arts organizations and educators, collaborations with community groups, and distribution of video or audio materials to schools, libraries, and homes. In other words, projects that pair strong national programming with thoughtful outreach or educational components are consistent with the program goals.
The funding range listed for awards runs from a floor of $10,000 to a ceiling of $200,000, and the opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the NEA expects applicants to provide non-federal matching resources as part of the project budget. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 45.024 (Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals), and the funding instrument is a grant.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (other than institutions of higher education when applicable), units of state or local government, and federally recognized tribal communities or tribes. The opportunity also lists multiple eligible applicant types in government terms, including state governments, county and city/township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized tribal governments. Applicants must meet the NEA legal requirements for nonprofit status (or qualifying government/tribal status) at the time of application, must apply directly on their own behalf (applications through a fiscal agent are not permitted), and must be up to date on final reports for any prior NEA awards to remain eligible.
The application process requires electronic submission through Grants.gov. The original closing date was September 5, 2008, with the Grants.gov system needing to receive applications by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. Due to hurricane activity, the NEA extended the deadline: the revised (current) closing date became September 15, 2008. For any materials that needed to be mailed directly to the NEA, the agency required a postmark or other proof of mailing no later than September 16, 2008. The opportunity was posted May 7, 2008, shows a creation date of September 3, 2008, and lists an archive date of October 15, 2008. The funding opportunity number is 2008NEA01ARTV, and the administering agency is the National Endowment for the Arts.
