Small, mid-size organizations eligible for Challenge America Fast-Track grants
Potential applicants invited to webinar on April 2.
The National Endowment for the Arts’ Challenge America Fast-Track grants support primarily small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the arts to underserved populations — those whose opportunities to experiences the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics or disability. Grants are awarded for a fixed amount of $10,000 and require a minimum match of $10,000, and grants are limited to four specific types of projects: arts events featuring a guest artist(s), public art, unified promotion, and design.
On April 2, from 3 – 4 p.m., the NEA will present a webinar about the Challenge America Fast-Track grants to help potential applicants navigate the process. The webinar is free, but registration is required. The grant application deadline is May 8.
