Recovery - Frequently Asked Questions Who is eligible? Non-profit cultural organizations with service and support-oriented positions-at-risk, including but not limited to service organizations and local arts councils. What will be funded? NYSCA will prioritize support for service and support oriented- positions at-risk within eligible organizations that are charged with managing critical services that reach a broad number of artists/arts organizations, including but not limited to re-grant programs, technical assistance, subsidized space programs, and professional training. What is the grant award? NYSCA will provide grants of $10,000-$25,000 to help support 14 to 35 such positions throughout the state. Organizations are limited to one request for support for one position. How will applications be reviewed? The stimulus grants program is being managed by the State and Local Partnership Program (Megan White, Director, Steve Jones, Associate). Stimulus applications will follow NYSCA’s normal review process, including panel review, Council Committee, and full Council. Can organizations apply to multiple sources for ARRA cultural funding? Yes. The ARRA allocated $50 million to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which is administering the funds through an extensive array of State Arts Agencies, Regional Arts Organizations and designated local arts agencies. A list of these organizations is available at www.nea.gov/recovery. Each of these organizations will be developing distinct guidelines and eligibility requirements and New York arts and cultural organizations may be able to apply. Organizations may apply to as many sources of NEA American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding as they are eligible, but may only accept funding from one source. Do you need to be a NYSCA grantee to apply for funds? No. You do not have to have previously applied for or received a grant from NYSCA in order to receive these funds. Guidelines and Applications will be available Monday, May 4th. Application deadline: 11:59 pm, June 1st. No exceptions. Notification: Mid-July.
