About the company
Museum Of Contemporary Art San Diego (doing business as MCASD), a San Diego-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a federal grant recipient supporting arts education, contemporary art curation, and museum facility sustainability programs. MCASD does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal relationship is entirely through direct grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
MCASD's grant portfolio centers on three program areas. The NEA funds educational initiatives connecting San Diego students with contemporary art and arts career development programming at the high school level. The NEH supports the La Jolla Assessment, Optimization and Planning Project, which evaluates building systems, envelope performance, and energy consumption across MCASD's hybrid historic-contemporary La Jolla facility to develop sustainable preservation solutions for its coastal environment; this work includes assessment of HVAC, drainage, and related infrastructure systems to inform a strategic plan balancing immediate low-cost improvements with long-term capital investments in sustainability and collection care. MCASD also received prior NEA funding for reinstallation of the museum's permanent collection. Recent grant awards include an educational initiative grant from NEA (Apr 1, 2026, completing Jun 30, 2027), a facility sustainability grant from NEH (Jan 1, 2026, completing Oct 31, 2027), and an arts career development program grant from NEA (Mar 1, 2025, completing Oct 31, 2026).
MCASD has received 16 federal grants since 2007, with a combined obligated value of $2.9 million across three agencies — the NEA (11 awards), the NEH (4 awards), and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (1 award). Recent award activity is sparse: one award in 2022, one in 2025, and two in 2026. Two active grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
