Instructions for Final Descriptive Report Forms

Part 1: Statistical

(2007—grant numbers beginning 07-6100-2xxx)

Introduction

Attached are instructions for preparing the statistical portion of the report required of Regional Arts Organizations (RAO) as a condition of receiving a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Partnership Agreement grant. The required format is designed to facilitate accountability, effective analysis of basic information about public arts agencies, and cooperation among state arts agencies, regional groups, and Endowment programs through information exchange. Information provided may be used in reports to Congress. Regional Arts Organizations are required to use this format in reporting on all agency‑funded activities.

Terms and definitions come from the National Standard for Arts Information Exchange developed through the National Information Systems Project (NISP).

The statistical report (Part 1 of the Final Descriptive Report) consists of two sections: DETAIL and TOTALS. DETAIL is a list of all grants/awards on which your organization is reporting and all in‑house program activities carried out by your organization. TOTALS is a set of cumulative totals of the DETAIL information plus a summary of your administrative costs.

The DETAIL section of your Final Descriptive Report must be submitted in an electronic format on a diskette/CD. You must request a waiver from the State & Regional Partnerships staff if you cannot meet this technology requirement.

**New this year**

• You no longer need to match each component of your award separately. The overall grant must be matched one-to-one, or “dollar for dollar.” The TOTALS page and the Financial Status Report will be used to verify that the required match has been met. Direct or indirect Federal funds may not be used to match your Partnership Agreement.

• The OTHER NEA SHARE field has been eliminated. You will report only on activities funded through your Partnership Agreement.

If you have questions or would like assistance completing this report, please call the State and Regional staff at 202/682‑5430.

Instructions

1. For each grant/award on which you are reporting, complete a record following the format shown on the Sample Record Layout on page 13, (e.g., Applicant Name, Applicant City, State, etc.). For each blank that requires a number, fill in only one number. If data is not available enter ‑1 or leave blank. Do not use zero for this purpose. Zero should only be used numerically.

2. On the DETAIL pages, use the top line to provide information about your agency and the Partnership Agreement grant on which you are reporting.

3. Following the format shown on the DETAIL page, list the records for each grant/award on which you are reporting. For this report grants/awards include:

a. activity for which there is an application/award process regardless of the funding source. Information on non‑funded applications is not a part of NEA reporting requirements.

b. other program activities of your agency (for example, publication of a newsletter, sponsorship of a statewide meeting, technical assistance).

Records may be listed in any order. Some agencies may find it convenient to continue to list applications in order by arts discipline, grant program, or alphabetical order. Reminder: the DETAIL pages must be submitted on diskette/CD. Do not submit hard copy DETAIL pages.

For those grants utilizing NEA funds from any component of the Partnership Agreement grant, indicate the amount of those funds in the NEA Share field (formerly the RAPG field -- see Definition 25 of these instructions

For those grants utilizing NEA funds from any component of the Partnership Agreement grant, identify in the Funds Purpose Reference field (formerly the OTHER NEA SOURCE field) the purpose(s) addressed through the use of the NEA funds. See ATTACHMENT 1 for a list of valid codes. Agencies must include this information on their final report diskette/CDs.

4. Number the DETAIL pages.

5. Fill in the top line of the TOTALS page with information about your organization and the Partnership Agreement grant on which you are reporting.

6. Add up all of the amounts shown on the DETAIL pages and enter the totals in Part A of the TOTALS page, according to the pattern shown at the top of the page (Individuals, Artists, etc.).

7. Copy the totals for "NEA Share," "RAO Share," and "Other Share" onto line 1 of the table in Part B of the TOTALS page.

8. Enter the line 1 total in the blank just to the right of the table.

9. Provide requested information on your organization's administrative expenses on line 2, and enter the total in the blank to the right of the table.

10. Add lines 1 and 2 for each of the columns and enter the totals on line 3.

11. Add all columns of line 3 and enter the total in the blank to the right of the table. This amount should equal the sum of "Total Program Expenses" plus "Total Administrative Expenses” immediately above.

12. In the green box, indicate the total dollar amount of the NEA Regional Touring Component used for Underserved Communities. Include both administrative and Regional Touring granted funds using NEA money.

13. An authorizing official must sign and date the TOTALS page.

• Any anecdotes that illustrate the benefits of each component’s grants would be welcome.

Organize your narrative (up to two pages per component) as follows:

If your award did not include one of these two components, indicate “not applicable” by the numbered heading.
