Hi all, This information was sent to me by an organizer in a different area, but they asked for me to share it within the Los Angeles Community. If you would like to join the list of organizations you can see it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cHCTXssMWuMweRLUjGQKtsck_rg7v4tMg7cpfzDQil8/htmlview?urp=gmail_link# Guidance for NEA Grantees Facing Termination or Withdrawal of Funds If you've received a termination notice or notice of withdrawn funding recommendation from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), follow this unofficial step-by-step guide to understand what actions you need to take and how to remain in compliance. Note: Stay tuned for a link to help collect data regarding terminations and withdrawn offers, which will be joined with the data collected from NEH/IMLS/NSF, and provide the ability to sort by congressional district. This will be a useful tool for demonstrating the broad impact of these terminations/withdrawn offers. Note that this is not intended as legal advice and none of this information should overrule the advice of your own organization or from official sources. TERMINATION NOTICE (OF ACTIVE AWARDS) ACTION ITEMS 1. Check the Official End Date Your award's Period of Performance is now administratively changed to end on May 31, 2025. You cannot incur or charge costs beyond this date. 2. Appeals (if eligible): If you believe your project does support one of the new NEA funding priorities, you can appeal the termination within 7 calendar days from the notice. Email grants@... with documentation showing your project meets the new priorities. Deadline to submit the appeal: Friday, May 9, before 11:59 PM Eastern Time. If your notice was received on Friday, May 2, seven (7) calendar days would be Friday, May 9. It is strongly recommended to submit before 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME (ET), since ET is typically the default time zone for other NEA-related deadlines. ● Provide documentation that your project supports one (or more) of the specific priorities outlined in your termination letter: The NEA is now prioritizing projects that elevate the Nation’s HBCUs and Hispanic 开云体育 Institutions, celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, foster AI competency, empower houses of worship to serve communities, assist with disaster recovery, foster skilled trade jobs, make America healthy again, support the military and veterans, support Tribal communities, make the District of Columbia safe and beautiful, and support the economic development of Asian American communities. ● SAMPLE APPEAL TEMPLATE FOUND HERE: Appeal Template Draft ● Note: The success of an appeal is unlikely, but it is worth following the appeals process for documentation if you think there are some connections between your project and any of the priorities. 3. Submit Payment Requests (If Applicable) Deadline to submit final payment requests: June 30, 2025. If you incurred any allowable project-related costs before May 31, 2025: ● Use the NEA's eGMS system to submit your final payment request by June 30, 2025. ● As noted in your termination letter, failure to submit a final payment request by this date will result in the de-obligation of your award’s remaining funding. ● What are allowable project-related costs? o Each payment request must reflect allowable project-related expenses already incurred (a reimbursement) and/or expenses you expect to incur by May 31, 2025 (an advance, since these would be for expenses expected to be incurred within thirty (30) calendar days from the request). o Every awarded grantee has an approved budget on file (in the ‘Files’ tab of REACH). o Any line item on your approved budget of record is an allowable cost. You may transfer among direct cost line items in your approved budget. This means if your approved budget included salaries/wages or artist fees in your budget, you can direct the remainder of your grant award money toward those costs. You must maintain documentation of all costs charged to the award. o The dollar amount of an approved line item can differ (within reason, as long as
