What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The purpose of this Program Solicitation is to select an organization (Cooperator) to administer the Arts Education Partnership (AEP), a national coalition of more than 250 partner and affiliate organizations representing the arts and education fields, as well as the government and private sectors. This award will be made as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement is a type of award reflecting a relationship between the federal government and an award recipient (known as a Cooperator) in which the federal government is effectively a partner in the funded project. In practice, this means that the federal government will be substantially involved in the project undertaken by the Cooperator. Eligible applicants include nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), U.S. organizations; units of state or local government; or federally-recognized tribal communities or tribes.
