The NEA will offer two categories of one-time support based on its existing distribution mechanism:
- 40 percent to the designated 56 state and jurisdictional arts agencies and their six authorized regional arts organizations.
- 60 percent awarded through competitive direct grants of $25,000 - $50,000. These direct grants will be available to nonprofit arts organizations including local arts agencies, statewide assemblies of local arts agencies, arts service organizations, and other arts organizations.
Applicants (organizations) must have received NEA funding in the last four years to be eligible to apply. WSU has received funding in the last four years.
In addition, applicants (organizations) can receive these funds through only one source – from the Arts Endowment directly, or from a state arts agency, a regional arts organization, or a local arts agency eligible to regrant.
