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 (NEA) awarded $402,115 to the Guam Council On The Arts & Humanities Agency on October 1, 2025, under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025) for a 12-month performance period ending September 30, 2026. This grant supports comprehensive arts programs, services, and activities aligned with the agency's NEA-approved strategic plan, including exhibitions, performances, educational projects, and community engagement initiatives throughout Guam.

The funding enables the Guam Council On The Arts & Humanities Agency to advance artistic excellence and public access to the arts in the Pacific region. Grant activities encompass diverse arts programming and cultural development efforts, with the agency also serving as a regional partner that provides sub-grant support through the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) to support delegation representatives from American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam participating in the Festival of Pacific Arts and Cultures, covering materials, artist project support, and programming costs.
