About the company
Filmscene, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Iowa City, Iowa, receives federal grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support year-round curated film screenings, public engagement activities, and educational programs. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts, sits on no contract vehicles, and engages in no subcontracting relationships.
Filmscene's entire federal footprint derives from a single customer agency — the NEA — across six project grants issued between January 2022 and January 2026 under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024). The organization has received $230 thousand in combined obligated funding across these awards. The grants support core operations: personnel and facilities expenses, year-round film curation and screening, public engagement, and educational programming. A $100 thousand two-year award spanning January 2022 through December 2023 explicitly targeted pandemic recovery and continuity of operations; subsequent grants from June 2023 onward have funded ongoing program delivery. Award frequency has been roughly annual — two grants in 2022, then one per calendar year in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the January 2026 award, which completes on December 31, 2026), positioning Filmscene for a recompete cycle on that single active grant in the near term. Filmscene's relationship with NEA is characteristic of arts-sector nonprofits receiving direct federal support for public programming rather than procurement or service contracting. The organization does not compete under SBA set-asides, does not pursue federal contracts, and does not operate as a subcontractor or teaming partner to contractors. Its federal engagement is limited to annual or biennial grant applications to a single federal grantor for operational and program support.
