The Arts Endowment encourages individuals to submit their applications electronically through Grants.gov, the federal government’s online application system. See "How to Prepare and Submit an Application" for further information.

Before you apply through Grants.gov for the first time, you must be registered. Registration with Grants.gov:

  • Is a multi-step process.
  • Takes time; allow a few days.
  • Must be completed before you can submit your application.

Late, ineligible, and incomplete applications will be rejected. We strongly recommend that you send material "return receipt requested." Without proof of mailing from the delivery service, the Arts Endowment will not accept applications that are delayed or lost in the mail.

In the event of a major emergency that affects a large number of applicants for an extended period of time (e.g., a multi-state power outage or a natural disaster such as a hurricane), the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts may decide to adjust application deadlines for applicants in the affected area. If this occurs, the Arts Endowment will post an announcement on its Web site.

The Arts Endowment will not accept any application material by FAX or e-mail unless such submission is requested by Arts Endowment staff.

Please do not seek information on the status of your application before the announcement date that is listed above.
