National Dance Project Presentation Grant

Presentation Grants provide subsidy of up to 50% of an artist's fee, including lodging, per diem, and travel, for the presentation of works that have received NDP Touring Awards.

More About NDP Presentation Grants

These grants support the dance field by enabling audiences in communities across the nation to experience the work of some of the most creative and compelling dance artists of our time. U.S. nonprofit organizations interested in presenting an NDP-supported project should contact the project’s tour coordinator in advance of the annual March 1 tour plan deadline. NEFA will contact organizations included on tour plans with application instructions.

Eligibility

• U.S. nonprofit organizations included on tour plans may apply.
• There is no limit to the number of Presentation Grants a presenter or nonprofit organization may receive, but a separate application must be submitted for each NDP project.
• Engagements must take place during the NDP touring season (between June 1 of the award year and August 31 of the following year) and include at least one public performance of the funded work.
• Presenters in receipt of FUSED funding cannot receive an NDP Presentation Grant for the same project.

Process & Deadlines 

• September 2013–February 2014: NDP Touring Awards announced; performing arts presenters and other nonprofit organizations interested in presenting a funded project should contact tour coordinators to engage in planning and negotiations.
• Mid-March 2014: Deadline for applicants to solidify negotiations with tour coordinators; tour coordinators submit working tour plans to NEFA. NEFA then invites applicants to submit Presentation Grant applications (requests) based on the tour plans.
