This exhibition runs from May through November 2020, and the grant is intended to fund the development and delivery of the United States' official national presentation within that international event. The program sits within the Arts funding activity area (noted under Cultural Affairs) and is tied to CFDA number 19.415, which generally covers cultural and educational exchange-related activities managed by ECA.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005596, with a creation date of February 13, 2019, and an original application deadline of March 28, 2019. The funding instrument specified is a grant, and the maximum amount available per award (the award ceiling) is $325,000. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which often indicates that the agency was not committing to a set number of awards in advance or that the number was to be determined based on proposals, available funds, or final program decisions.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that means eligible applicants would typically be museums, cultural organizations, arts nonprofits, design or architecture-focused foundations, or similar nonprofit entities capable of producing a high-profile exhibition project overseas, coordinating with U.S. government partners, and managing the logistical, curatorial, and administrative demands of an official national presence at a major international cultural venue.
In essence, the grant opportunity was designed to select and support a qualified nonprofit to plan and execute the United States' official architectural exhibition for the 2020 Venice Biennale season, using up to $325,000 in federal grant funding to cover the work required to represent the U.S. in that global forum.Apply for SFOP0005596
