Why are only specific previous IAC grantees eligible to apply for the Arts Jobs Preservation Program?
This criterion is the result of guidance provided by the Office of Management and Budget to the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Illinois Arts Council’s best effort to be equitable and fair. The Office of Management and Budget directed the NEA and their sub-grantees, such as the IAC, to work to mitigate risk by taking actions such as obligating funds to existing award recipients with the demonstrated ability to deliver the results and accountability objectives in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The IAC decided that grantees drawn from the Program Grant and Partners-in-Excellence Programs would serve a similar purpose. Because it was important that eligible applicants have a history of support and have been vetted through a rigorous panel review by experts in the field and approved by the Illinois Arts Council, the IAC further defined the eligible applicants to those organizations which have received funding through the Program Grant or Partners-in-Excellence
