Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) offered this FY 2010 grant opportunity to run a U.S.-based residency program for artists and arts managers from Central Europe, Eurasia, and Russia. The purpose was to bring selected participants (referred to as Fellows) to the United States for short, professionally focused residencies at nonprofit arts organizations, where they could build new skills, exchange ideas, and contribute creatively to host organizations and their surrounding communities. The core idea was cultural and professional exchange: Fellows would gain experience aligned with their own artistic or managerial goals while also sharing their perspectives and expertise with U.S. artists and audiences.
The NEA planned to make a single cooperative agreement award to one administering organization that would operate the program in close coordination with an NEA Project Director. Under this arrangement, the selected organization (the cooperator) would be responsible for promoting the residency opportunity both to potential Fellows across the target region and to potential host sites within the United States. It would also run the recruitment and selection process for up to 20 Fellows, each participating in a five-week residency. While the cooperator would manage outreach and selection logistics, the NEA would collaborate with the cooperator to decide which artistic disciplines would be targeted for recruitment, shaping the cohort based on program priorities.
A major part of the work involved building and maintaining relationships with U.S. host organizations. The cooperator would identify and vet potential host residency sites, then match each Fellow to an appropriate placement based on discipline, goals, and organizational fit. Once matches were made, the cooperator would administer the residencies on the ground, including arranging logistics and providing financial support to host sites to cover the Fellows' working and living expenses. In practice, this meant the administering organization served as the central hub for the entire pipeline: outreach abroad, selection, placement development in the U.S., and day-to-day residency administration.
Funding was set as one award with a total federal amount of up to (and effectively fixed at) $200,000, listed as both the award ceiling and floor. Cost sharing was required: the cooperator had to provide at least $100,000 in nonfederal matching funds, with additional match beyond the minimum encouraged. The announcement also noted an important restriction: an organization could not receive more than one NEA award for the same project during the same or an overlapping period of support, preventing duplicate federal support for the identical activity window.
The application timeline was straightforward. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS1001) was posted on November 23, 2009, with a proposal receipt deadline of January 20, 2010. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the system needed to receive the proposal no later than 11:59 p.m. on the deadline date. Applicants were advised to submit at least 10 days early to allow time to resolve common submission issues. The period of support for the cooperative agreement was expected to begin no earlier than April 1, 2010, and could extend through March 31, 2012, allowing roughly two years to recruit, place, and run multiple residency cycles and complete reporting and closeout tasks.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities capable of administering an international residency exchange program. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (including nonprofits other than higher education institutions), public and private institutions of higher education, units of state or local government, and federally recognized tribal governments. Beyond organizational type, the NEA required that the applicant meet the Arts Endowment's legal requirements at the time of application, demonstrate at least a three-year history of program administration directly related to this kind of project, and be up to date on final reporting for any prior NEA awards. The opportunity was categorized as a discretionary program using a cooperative agreement instrument (meaning substantial NEA involvement in program direction and oversight), listed under CFDA 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals.
