Presentation Grants are tied to NTP Creation & Touring Grants. Presentation Grants are made to presenters and support up to 50% of the artistic fee (including travel expenses) for NTP projects.

Eligibility

• U.S. performing arts presenters with nonprofit status or nonprofit organizations who have been invited may apply.
• There is no limit to the number of NTP Touring Grants a presenter or nonprofit organization may receive, but a separate application must be submitted for each project.
• Engagements must include at least one public performance.
• Applicant must be able to fulfill the Requirements & Reports for Grant Recipients if awarded.

process & Deadline

Rolling deadline: NTP Presentation Grants are awarded on a rolling basis as negotiated between artist and presenter. Tour plans are submitted to NEFA by the project’s tour coordinator on a rolling basis. Once a plan update has been submitted, NEFA will send the invitation to apply.

Performing arts presenters and other nonprofit organizations interested in presenting an NTP project should first contact the funded project's tour coordinator in order to receive an invitation to apply to NEFA. Currently available projects and tour coordinators are listed in the National Theater Project publication.

Requirements & Reports for Grant Recipients 

Requirements
NEFA must be notified of any changes in fee paid to the artist(s) as far in advance of the event as possible. Your grant award is calculated as a percentage of that artistic fee. It should not be considered a one-to-one "matching grant." The amount listed on the contract and in the evaluation MUST be the total artistic fee as it appears on your Application form. If the fee is reduced, you must provide an explanation in writing. Reduction in the artist(s) fee may result in the reduction or cancellation of your grant award. Artistic fees do not include in-kind contributions.

In order for a grant recipient to receive the grant award, the following items must be provided within one month after the funded event:

1. Evaluation form for each grant, which includes several narrative questions and a final budget associated with the presentation. Do not combine figures for more than one grant on a single form. For series/festivals or collaborations, approximate proportions of audience figures, expenses, etc. for each event for which NEFA funding directly applies. 
2. Copies of contract or letter of agreement (signed and dated with printed name and title) between your organization and the artist(s) being presented. The contract must be signed by an authorized representative of the artist(s) and by an authorized representative of your organization, and must include the dollar amount of the artistic fee, the amount agreed upon and terms for housing and transportation of the artist(s) while in your care, if not part of the artistic fee, and the dates of the residency, performance(s), workshop(s) and/or other related events.
3. Copies of all program and publicity materials showing crediting of NEFA and additional sponsors. Flag or highlight the credit line on these materials, showing the required acknowledgment of the funding support as described in the grant award letter. (Visit nefa.org for current crediting requirements.) Scan and email all materials to NEFA. 
4. (Strongly Encouraged) Imagess of the NTP-funded engagement emailed to ebouchard@nefa.org.

Payments for the grant award will be made upon receipt of these materials by NEFA after the event. You must provide this material within one month of the event or risk forfeiture of the grant and all pending NEFA grants. If the performance date is changed or cancelled or if you anticipate a delay in forwarding completed report forms and materials, please contact Elizabeth Bouchard (ebouchard@nefa.org or 617.951.0010 x516).
