Frequently Asked Questions/Tips for Cooperative Agreements

  1. Who can provide more information regarding the Geographic Location of Project Activity form?

    Call the Geography Analyst in the Office of Policy, Research & Technology at 202/682-5775.

  2. How will we know when our money has been transferred to our bank?

    You must call your bank and ask whether the bank has received an ACH (automated clearinghouse) payment to your account. If you use any other terminology, the bank may not be able to give you the information you want.

  3. We want to make changes to our project. What do we need to do?

    All requests for changes, such as a time extension or project scope change, must be submitted by an authorizing official in writing to the Grants & Contracts Office before implementation. Sending requests to any office other than Grants & Contracts will only slow the process down. No other Endowment office has the authority to issue any changes! For more specific information on what to submit, see the General Terms.

  4. May international artists be included in our project budget?

    As long as those artists were pre-approved and costs related to their compensation and travel are in compliance with regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department of Foreign Asset Control
    (see http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/index.html).

    A request to change artists must follow the Agency's procedures for a scope amendment as outlined in the General Terms.
