From time to time, the Council contract with nonprofit organizations to administer targeted funding programs and technical assistance services in areas not directly funded by the Council's Programs. These activities are carried out with funds granted through the Regrant category. Funding in this category is available only at the invitation of the Council. On occasion, the Program may issue a Request for Proposal to establish a new service provider.

The category covers a range of services from the administration of technical assistance funds to fees for artist appearances. Regranting services can either have a long-term role in the arts community or be developed to meet a short-term need. Some projects may use a panel review process to determine regrant awards, while others may be limited primarily to assigning and accounting for consulting services. A working knowledge of the target audience, arts discipline, and service area is essential for those organizations receiving grant contracts in this category. Organizations applying to the Council in this category must show a willingness to reach beyond their membership in providing services or regrant awards.

Administrative costs for delivery of services can vary depending on the nature, depth, and scope of the work, but rarely exceed 15% of project costs. Organizations receiving support in this category are required to report on the distribution of funds, characterizing the demographics of the recipients.
