Applying to the NEA for an American Rescue Plan grant is a 2-part process:
- The deadline for Part 1 (submitting the Short Organization Form/SF-424 via Grants.gov) is August 12. Applicants can’t move on to Part 2 unless they complete Part 1 by the deadline, and this is why we emphasize this deadline to prospective applicants.
- The deadline for Part 2 (submitting materials to the NEA Applicant Portal) depends on the first letter of the applicant organization’s legal name. For Group A – L, the Applicant Portal will be open August 19 – 25. For Group M – Z, the Applicant Portal will be open August 27 – September 2.

APAP, the National Performance Network and the NEA hosted an informational webinar and Q&A session focused on the American Rescue Plan (ARP) direct funding opportunity open to nonprofit arts and culture organizations, how to apply for this new funding program and how to register your organization to be eligible for federal funding.
