About the company
Center For Asian American Media, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California, acts as a federal grant recipient focused on supporting Asian and Asian American media arts, cultural programming, and filmmaker professional development. The organization is minority-owned and Asian-Pacific American owned; it does not hold federal contracts, contract vehicles, or subcontracts, operating exclusively as a prime grant recipient from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
The organization's federal footprint is concentrated entirely in two agencies. The National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 31 of 34 total awards (91% coverage), while the National Endowment for the Humanities holds three awards. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $8.1 million. Recent grant work centers on CAAMFEST, an annual media arts festival dedicated to Asian and Asian American cinematic works and related public programming. The NEA has funded CAAMFEST annually since at least 2022, with consecutive January awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 supporting staff salaries and festival operations. A June 2022 NEA grant supported a separate professional development initiative focused on Asian American documentary filmmakers in the Midwest, extending the organization's grant portfolio beyond the flagship festival.
Activity has declined significantly in recent years. The organization received two awards in 2022 and one award per year in each of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The source covers activity from 2007 forward, indicating a much longer funding history than the recent five-year snapshot, but the recent trajectory shows flatness rather than growth. All six grants visible in the source award block carry project-grant assistance type, with completion dates spanning six months to one year from award date. CAAMFEST grants typically award on January 1 and complete by June 30 or May 31, creating a predictable annual recompete cycle.
This organization operates outside the federal contracting space entirely and carries no involvement with GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs, or contract vehicles. As a business development target for federal contractors, Center For Asian American Media presents no prime or subcontracting opportunity; it is a cultural institution and grant recipient only, not a defense, civilian agency IT, or federal services vendor.
