About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is soliciting grant applications for arts projects that celebrate the contributions of national heroes as defined in Executive Order 13978. Eligible applicants include county and city governments, higher education institutions, tribal organizations, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and state governments. The grant seeks arts projects in any discipline that honor specific national heroes, with a focus on promoting cultural participation and artistic excellence. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the grant appears to prioritize projects that creatively commemorate and highlight American historical figures. The application deadline is July 14, 2025, with the opportunity officially posted on June 13, 2025, providing approximately one month for potential applicants to prepare and submit their proposals.
The grant will provide $25,000 awards to selected projects, with no cost-sharing requirement. These grants are part of the broader Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024), which typically supports arts-related activities with performance periods of one to two years. The funding is intended to support diverse artistic disciplines, including performing arts, visual arts, literary arts, film and media arts, and folk and traditional arts. While the specific location of performance is not restricted, the NEA has historically supported projects across urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities, with a particular emphasis on serving underrepresented populations.
