All Artist Communities and Design applicants must apply at the February 9, 2023, deadline.
An organization may submit only one application under these FY 2024 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines (i.e., one application per calendar year). See "Application Limits" for the few exceptions to this rule.
Before applying, your organization must create and maintain up-to-date registrations with both the System for Award Management (SAM) at SAM.gov and Grants.gov. Registering and maintaining accounts with SAM and Grants.gov is always FREE. See How to Apply for more information.
Registration in SAM.gov and Grants.gov can take many weeks. Give yourself plenty of time to get registered. Similarly, submit your application to Grants.gov well in advance of the deadline in case you encounter any difficulties.
Late, ineligible, and incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
Exceptions to the deadline will be considered only for registration or renewal issues or technical malfunctions that are the result of failures on the part of SAM, Grants.gov, or NEA systems, as determined by the NEA. To be considered for this exception, you must provide documentation of a SAM, Grants.gov, or NEA systems failure that prevented your submission by the deadline.
In the event of a major emergency (e.g., a hurricane or a SAM, Grants.gov, or NEA systems technological failure), the NEA Chair may adjust application deadlines for affected applicants. If a deadline is extended for any reason, an announcement will be posted on our website.
Please do not seek information on the status of your application before the announcement date that is listed above.
