Opportunity Information: Apply for NEAPS2002
The NEA Arts Education Partnership (AEP), FY2020 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS2002) is a discretionary National Endowment for the Arts funding announcement that seeks a single organization to serve as the Cooperator for administering the Arts Education Partnership (AEP). AEP is described as a national coalition of more than 100 organizations spanning the arts and education fields, along with representation from government and private-sector stakeholders. The core purpose of the award is not to fund a standalone arts education project, but to select an administrative lead that can steward, coordinate, and advance AEP as an established national partnership network.
The NEA frames this solicitation around continuity and growth as AEP enters its 25th year. The selected Cooperator is expected to build on AEP's existing achievements and strengthen the impact of its national coalition. The solicitation also explicitly encourages proposals that include a partnership with another national organization, with the idea that a strong national partner can help broaden reach, deepen capacity, and better fulfill AEP's mission. In practical terms, applicants are being invited to propose an organizational home and operating structure for AEP that can effectively convene the field, align cross-sector participants, and sustain a national platform for arts education collaboration.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that the NEA anticipates substantial involvement and coordination with the awardee rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The award is tied to the Arts funding activity category and is listed under CFDA number 45.024. The period of performance is defined as beginning no earlier than October 1, 2020 and ending on September 30, 2021, establishing a one-year cooperative agreement term.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of public and nonprofit entities: state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that particular nonprofit category). Despite the range of eligible applicant types, only one proposal may be submitted per organization under this solicitation, which places a premium on submitting a single, well-developed application with a clear national strategy.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of April 20, 2020, and an award ceiling of $1,050,000. The opportunity was created on March 3, 2020. The synopsis does not specify the expected number of awards in the provided data, but the structure and language strongly indicate that the NEA intended to select one lead Cooperator to administer the AEP coalition during the stated project period.Apply for NEAPS2002
