About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is soliciting a Cooperator organization to coordinate and support the 2027 NEA Jazz Masters Tribute Concert and related events, including live concert production, webcast delivery, video tributes, and associated programming activities. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, state and local government units, federally recognized tribal governments, and the six Regional Arts Organizations. The NEA will maintain substantial involvement in the project through a cooperative agreement funding mechanism, requiring the selected Cooperator to demonstrate organizational capacity to manage complex, multi-faceted arts programming. Applications will be evaluated primarily on artistic excellence and artistic merit through a three-level independent review process consisting of national expert panels, the National Council on the Arts, and the NEA Chair. The application deadline is April 9, 2026, with the posting date of March 6, 2026, providing applicants with approximately one month to prepare and submit their proposals.
Specific award values and budget ranges are not detailed in the solicitation materials provided, though historical awards under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024) have ranged from $10,000 to $100,000 with typical project durations of one to two years. The 2027 Jazz Masters Tribute Concert is expected to be performed and delivered nationwide, reaching audiences across multiple geographic areas and communities through both live and digital platforms. Awardees must retain all award-related records for three years following submission of the Final Federal Financial Report and comply with applicable environmental and historic preservation review requirements as determined by the NEA.
