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

The Michigan Strategic Fund received a $1,120,253 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This award supports the execution of arts programs, services, and activities aligned with the Michigan Strategic Fund's NEA-approved strategic plan. The funding enables the organization to develop and maintain partnerships that advance the NEA's mission of promoting artistic excellence, arts education, and public access to the arts.

The grant provides both general funding for comprehensive arts programming and designated funding for specific initiatives including folk and traditional arts, arts education programs, and outreach to underserved communities. As a state-level arts agency, the Michigan Strategic Fund will utilize these resources to implement exhibitions, performances, educational projects, and community engagement efforts that fulfill NEA strategic objectives and serve Michigan constituents. Grant-related records must be retained for three years following submission of the Final Federal Financial Report in accordance with NEA requirements.
