Subject: Arts, Arts Education, Youth Development, Community Development
Deadline: Apr. 16, 2015
“The Challenge America category offers support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations — those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. Age alone (e.g., youth, seniors) does not qualify a group as underserved; at least one of the underserved characteristics noted above also must be present. Grants are available for professional arts programming and for projects that emphasize the potential of the arts in community development.
This category encourages and supports the following two objectives:
- Engagement: Engaging the public with diverse and excellent art.
- Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts.”
Funder: The National Endowment for the Arts
Eligibility: “Nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), U.S. organizations; units of state or local government; or federally recognized tribal communities or tribes may apply. Applicants may be arts organizations, local arts agencies, arts service organizations, local education agencies (school districts), and other organizations that can help advance the goals of the Arts Endowment.”
Amount: $10,000
