Whether it’s the creation of new art, opportunities for the public to participate and engage in the arts, or work to better understand the impact of the arts, these grants contribute to the well-being of individuals and communities, help meet the challenges of our time, and build towards a future in which all people can lead artful lives and reach their full potential.”
Grants for Arts Projects
Grants for Arts Projects (GAP) provides expansive funding opportunities to strengthen the nation’s arts and cultural ecosystem. The National Endowment for the Arts received 1,996 eligible Grants for Arts Projects applications this round, which were submitted in February 2023, requesting more than $102.7 million in funding. The NEA will award 958 grants for a total of $27,178,300 to support arts projects in 15 artistic disciplines and fields. All grants require a nonfederal cost share/match of at least 1 to 1.
Each year the NEA provides extensive engagement opportunities and technical assistance to potential applicants as part of the agency’s efforts to support opportunities for all people to participate in the arts. For this round of GAP funding, the NEA received applications from more than 160 first-time applicants, and as many as 82 organizations will receive an NEA grant for the first time.
Grants for Arts Projects supports NEA funding priorities from the FY2022-2026 NEA Strategic Plan: opportunities for public engagement with the arts and arts education, for the integration of the arts with strategies promoting the health and well-being of people and communities, and for the improvement of overall capacity and capabilities within the arts sector.
