Big Read, Shakespeare in American Communities, and Arts Midwest Touring Fund are Federally funded programs managed by Arts Midwest on behalf of the National Endowment for the Arts. Applicants and grantees of these programs must abide by the following requirements.
Registration is free but will take time to complete. Contact your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center for free specialized help with the SAM.gov registration process.
This may include renewing your registration annually or more frequently if there are changes to the information. You will need to opt-in to have it viewable in the public search.
Entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov will no longer need to have an approved Entity Administrator notarized letter on file before their registration is activated. See here for more information.
Entities seeking Federal Assistance still must mail the original, signed copy of the notarized letter to the Federal Service Desk. Failure to do so within 30 days of activation may result in the registration no longer being active. Unfortunately, the National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Midwest have no control over the SAM requirements.
