    See the Forms & Reports tab in REACH to see if your award has a product requirement.

  If you need to submit a hardcopy of a product:

  First-class mail to the NEA is delayed due to security screening. Products put through this process suffer irreversible damage. If you are sending a product use an alternative delivery service, such as UPS or FEDEX. Send to the following address:

  National Endowment for the Arts
  Office of Grants Management
  400 7th Street, SW
  Washington, DC 20506

  If your grant allows for an electronic product to be submitted through REACH:

  We recommend that you submit your product electronically. Because NEA staff are primarily teleworking due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it may take some time to log your hard-copy work product.  An additional (optional) hard copy of the product could be sent to the address above, in care of the Agency Contact noted for your award in REACH.
