NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES

 
Cooperative Agreement for a Feasibility Study for Increased 
Private Support for the Folk and Traditional Arts

AGENCY: National Endowment for the Arts, NFAH.

ACTION: Notification of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for the Arts is requesting proposals 
leading to the award of a Cooperative Agreement to conduct a national 
feasibility study of the potential for increasing private funding for 
the folk and traditional arts. It is expected that the study will 
include: a quantitative and descriptive analysis of non-federal and 
non-state funding for the folk and traditional arts in the United 
States, including the perspectives of representatives of a variety of 
funders and folk arts organizers/producers; the identification and 
analysis of obstacles and opportunities for increased financial support 
inherent both in the folk and traditional arts field and in the non-
federal, non-state arenas; and the feasibility of new structures to 
assist in increasing financial support for the folk and traditional 
arts. Available funding is $100,000. There is an expectation that, 
during the course of the work, additional funds for the study may be 
raised. Those interested in receiving the solicitation package should 
reference Program Solicitation PS 99-05 in their written request and 
include two (2) self-addressed labels. Verbal requests for the 
Solicitation will not be honored.

DATES: Program Solicitation PS 99-05 is scheduled for release 
approximately August 30, 1999 with proposals due on September 30, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Requests for the Solicitation should be addressed to the 
National Endowment for the Arts, Grants & Contracts Office, Room 618, 
1100 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20506.
