National Endowment for the Arts is no longer distributing printed guidelines
and application forms. The new FY 2005 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines
are available only on the NEA’s Web site at: www.arts.gov/grants/apply/GAP05/.
Under these guidelines, an organization may submit only one application, which includes:
• A new Access to Artistic Excellence category that combines the previous Artistic Creativity and Preservation and Challenge America: Access to the Arts categories. Application postmark deadlines are March 15 and Aug. 16.
• An expanded Challenge America Fast-Track Review Grants category that now includes support for professional arts programming and program enhancements for arts events. Application postmark deadline: June 1.
• Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth for school-based and community-based projects consistent with national, state, or local arts education standards. Application postmark deadline: June 14.
In addition, all applicants for federal funds must have a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. If an organization does not have a DUNS number, it can receive one for free by calling (866) 705-5711.
