About the company
Paley Center For Media, a New York-based tax-exempt nonprofit, is a federal grant recipient that provides media literacy, digital skills programming, and cultural heritage digitization services to the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The organization operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts and carries no subcontract footprint.
Paley Center's federal grant portfolio centers on two lines of work: media literacy and digital skills education for K-12 students and educators, and preservation and digitization of at-risk television collections with cultural and historical significance. The National Endowment for the Arts has been the dominant customer, funding five awards over the past five years for career development programming for youth media artists and staff support for media literacy initiatives. In October 2024, the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded a project grant running through September 2027 for digitization and cataloging of approximately 2,500 items from Paley Center's collection pertaining to African American history — rare television media and historic programming featuring figures including Nat King Cole, Bayard Rustin, Toni Morrison, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, and Oprah Winfrey. Once digitized, these materials support Paley Education's K-12 media education curriculum and public exhibits. A single National Endowment for the Humanities award also appears in the footprint.
Total obligated dollars across eight federal awards sum to $1.8 million over the past five years, with activity holding at approximately one award per year across the past five fiscal years. Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete opportunity. Paley Center operates within the federal grant ecosystem rather than the federal contracting marketplace; it does not compete on IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, and it engages no federal prime contractors or integrators as parents or partners in its award work.
