Partnership Agreement Grants, FY 2027

National Endowment for the Arts · 2027NEA04PA · Deadline: September 29, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $2.5M

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 45.025, Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Program volume ~63 awards/yr

69 unique recipients in the sample; 67 repeat winners.

Actual award size (program) $975k median

range $66k – $2.6M

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $975k against a $2.5M ceiling (39%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 276 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
