Award Amounts

All grants require a nonfederal cost share/match of at least 1 to 1. For example, if an organization receives a $500,000 grant, the total eligible project costs must be at least $1,000,000 and the organization must provide at least $500,000 toward the project from nonfederal sources.

Grants generally will range from $500,000 to $1,000,000.

We reserve the right to limit support of a project to a particular portion(s) or cost(s).

All costs included in your Project Budget must be expended during your period of performance. This includes all subgranting activity funded by NEA or cost share/matching funds. Costs associated with other federal funds, whether direct or indirect, cannot be included in your Project Budget. Costs incurred before the earliest project start date of July 1, 2024, cannot be included in your budget or cost share/match.
