About the company
The Brooklyn Academy of Music, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit cultural institution based in Brooklyn, New York, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively as a prime recipient across five federal agencies—the National Endowment for the Arts, the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The organization has not competed for federal contracts and does not sit on contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of project grants for performing arts programming, artist fees, and cultural infrastructure.
BAM's grant portfolio is heavily concentrated at the National Endowment for the Arts, which has funded 21 of the organization's 31 federal awards. The largest and most recent grant is a $1,005,864 project grant from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded June 1, 2026, running through June 1, 2029, under CFDA 84.215 (Innovative Approaches to Literacy; Promise Neighborhoods; Full-Service Community Schools; and Congressionally Directed Spending for Elementary and Secondary Education Community Projects program). That award funds the BAM Arts Education and Creative Workforce Initiative, supporting literacy skill development and arts education programming for children and students in high-need communities in Brooklyn. The NEA has supported BAM's Next Wave series of multidisciplinary performances and associated artist fees and production personnel costs across multiple cycles—project grants awarded July 1, 2025 (completion January 31, 2026), July 1, 2024 (completion January 31, 2025), and July 1, 2023 (completion June 30, 2024). The NEA also funded a discrete immersive artwork project based on the independent video game Journey, awarded July 1, 2024, completing May 31, 2025. The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $1 million-plus Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant on April 1, 2023 (completion March 1, 2025) to support completion and furnishing of the BAM HAMM Archives, a public-facing archival facility with 3,500 square feet of collections storage, research space, and conservation infrastructure housed at BAM's new cultural venue complex at 10 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn. The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has placed six awards with BAM, and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs has funded two grants.
Award activity has remained modest—one or two grants per year across 2022–2026—with $29.1 million in combined obligated dollars across the entire thirty-one-award source history. BAM operates as a presenting and producing venue for multidisciplinary performing arts, with federal grant funding anchored to artist support, production infrastructure, archival preservation, and arts education programming targeted at underserved urban communities.
