Development of a Grant Proposal 3
The Executive Summary
The Bay Area Alternative Press (BAAP) has been supported by award-winning artists,writers, influential professors, businesses such as Toyota, Toshiba, Starbucks, and influentialeducators from all areas of academia; therefore, BAAP has thrived for 31 years through privatecorporations and individuals. However, it has yet to seek direct support for its multidisciplinaryactivities and products through reputable governmental sources. As an independent federalagency, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) offers a Grant entitled

Art Projects
that will enable BAAP to continue production during the public funding crisis thathas cut billions of federal and state dollars from state universities and public schools. ThisProposal seeks the NEA Grant, which provides a solution that will unite BAAP and itscommunities through innovative interest and activities to achieve a new worthy art project that
will revitalize all integrated sectors of BAAP’s operations, even from national fiscal levels.
The NEA Grant will serve to fulfill BAAP’s unmet need that involves the security of its
stakeholders and neighborhoods in respect to collaboration and the influences of media, videogames, and internet content on our developing populace. Support by the NEA independentfederal agency is critical to BAAP's viability because the Grant will benefit its outreachprograms through its provision of Federal Domestic Assistance, employment options, andtechnical upgrades. The organization cannot maintain its Mission until it establishes this essentialsupportive venue.
Until it completes and submits its NEA Application, BAAP's “legacy o
f
success” is compromised as its artists strive to cover issues that BAAP stakeholders realize are a
result of private interest groups, for example--federal support is essential to its Mission to covernewsworthy issues with excellent artwork. Therefore, everyone should support this Proposaltoday.
