To support arts programs services and activities associated with carrying out the agency's national endowment for the arts-approved strategic plan

The National Endowment for the Arts awarded $774,626.97 to the Government of the District of Columbia's Commission on the Arts and Humanities through the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements federal grant program (CFDA 45.025) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

The funding will support arts programs, services, and activities carried out under the Commission's NEA-approved strategic plan. As the state arts agency for the District of Columbia, the Commission works with regional arts organizations to advance the National Endowment for the Arts' mission of promoting excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education. The award will aid the Commission in developing and maintaining local partnerships that enable the National Endowment for the Arts to carry out its goals at the state and community level.
