Challenge America

Fast-Track Grant Application

Deadline - May 24th    

The May 24th deadline for applying for a $10,000 NEA Challenge America Fast-Track grant is fast approaching. Challenge America Fast-Track grants support primarily 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. These grants are a great opportunity for first-time NEA grant applicants, and all of the grant awards are $10,000 matching grants.

The guidelines for applying can be found on our website at http://www.arts.gov/grants/apply/index.html.  Additionally, NEA staff conducted an hour-long webinar workshop for those interested in applying for a Challenge America Fast-Track grant. You can share an archived recording of this webinar with your constituents at http://www.arts.gov/grants/apply/CAFT-NEA-GO-webinar.html/
