To support subgranting to the nonprofit arts sector in response to and recovery from the covid-19 pandemic

The Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County, Inc. was awarded a $150,000 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024). The grant funding will support subgranting to the nonprofit arts sector in North Carolina through December 2023 in response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program aims to support opportunities for public participation in the arts, integrate arts strategies that promote well-being and community resilience, and build arts sector capacity and infrastructure. The Arts Council will utilize the December 2021 award to directly fund local nonprofit arts organizations as they work to recover from pandemic-related challenges over the two-year grant period. The subgranting will allow continued public access to arts programming and services in the Fayetteville/Cumberland County region during the post-pandemic recovery phase.
