NEA Questions

GO Smart offers a powerful template for pass-through funders of the NEA and members of NASAA. This NEA Questions template page is updated annually to collect the exact data requested for funded projects. This page works in tandem with our NEA report that pulls NEA-coded responses into a formatted report that can be sent to NASAA or uploaded into the NEA’s reporting tools.

Include this page in the application, interim report, final report, or any combination thereof to gather this data when it seems most appropriate for you; or simply use it in the Final Report and gather all 28 points after the grantee has used their funds.

If you offer this page in several forms of your cycle, the most current response to this page will display in the NEA report. Custom reports will include all responses to each individual NEA Questions page throughout the cycle.
