PART II D: ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERS

Provide the numbers of organizational partners involved in the project during the period of
support. An organizational partner is an outside entity that provided resources (more than
money) that supported the project. Because all NEA projects require matching resources from
non-NEA sources, organizations that only provided money are not considered partners.
Funders are not excluded from being partners, but they must have supplied human resources
or information capital, or actively participated in another way.
In the boxes below, provide the number of each type of partner involved in the project:
Non-profit arts organization

College/University

Non-profit community organization

Foundation

School/School district

Religious organization

Local government agency
(count each department engaged)
