## What the grant funds

The purpose of this Program Solicitation is to select an organization (Cooperator) to administer the Arts Education Partnership (AEP), a national coalition of more than 250 partner and affiliate organizations representing the arts and education fields, as well as the government and private sectors. This award will be made as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement is a type of award reflecting a relationship between the federal government and an award recipient (known as a Cooperator) in which the federal government is effectively a partner in the funded project. In practice, this means that the federal government will be substantially involved in the project undertaken by the Cooperator. Eligible applicants include nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), U.S. organizations; units of state or local government; or federally-recognized tribal communities or tribes.
