The NEA’s FY09 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines are now available on the NEA website. To be fully prepared for the NEA grant application process, read the guidelines very carefully, check out the NEA’s List of Frequently Asked Questions, and be in touch with an NEA Music specialist to talk through your plans for preparing an application.
To assist orchestras with the application process, the League attends the public sessions of NEA review panels throughout the year, then outlines helpful tips for preparing your application, including an overview of guideline changes.
