A Conversation with the National Endowment for the Arts about American Rescue Plan Funding
Dance/USA and The International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD) invite you to a conversation with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) on COVID-19 NEA relief support on Tuesday, July 27 at 2:00 PM EST. Learn about the NEA’s American Rescue Plan funding, ask questions, and connect with your federal arts agency! This free, online conversation is open to all regardless of membership status in Dance/USA and IABD. Registration closes this Friday, July 23 at 5pm ET.
Funding is intended to help support jobs in the arts sector, keep the doors open to arts organizations nationwide, and assist the field in its response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cost share/matching funds are not required. This opportunity is open to local arts agencies and nonprofit arts and culture organizations regardless of whether they have received past NEA funding, significantly expanding access to federal funds for the arts and culture sector. The Arts Endowment is actively seeking first-time applicants and this workshop will provide content for first-timers as well as previous NEA applicants.
Before applying for federal funding, organizations need to obtain a DUNS number and register with SAM.gov and grants.gov. Registration on SAM.gov and grants.gov can take several weeks, so you should begin the process as soon as possible. The Arts Endowment has put together some instructions and links to help you with this process.
This session will be most relevant to those that are eligible for the NEA relief programs – please review the eligibility guidelines here.
