Application Deadlines

The NEA has set the deadlines for FY14 Grants for Arts Projects, the Endowment's major support category for organizations. As a reminder, the Access to Artistic Excellence and Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth categories have been replaced with the funding category called Art Works, with outcomes of Creation, Engagement, Livability, and Learning.   

• Art Works, Part 1: March 7, 2013
• Art Works, Part 2: August 8, 2013
• Challenge America Fast-Track: May 23, 2013 

The NEA has released guidelines for applying for FY14 Grants. Download the League’s updated guidance specific to orchestras on our Tips for your application page.

Orchestras may be interested in exploring opportunities for Our Town funding, which supports creative placemaking projects in which communities collaborate with their arts and design organizations and artists to enhance community vibrancy in a variety of ways. Grants will range from $25,000 to $150,000, with applications due January 14, 2013. Please visit the NEA website for complete guidelines about Our Town.
