Instructions for Final Descriptive Report Forms
Part 1: Statistical
(grant numbers beginning 10-6100-2XXX, 11-6100-2XXX, etc.)

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.
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 Federal
Financial 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.
