About the company
Creative Action is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Austin, Texas, that receives federal grants to deliver school-based arts education and youth development programs, operating as a prime recipient of National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) project grants and as a sub-recipient under AmeriCorps programming.
Creative Action's federal footprint is concentrated almost exclusively with the National Endowment for the Arts, which accounts for 13 of its 14 federal awards. The organization has served two distinct federal grantor agencies: the NEA (13 awards) and the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management (1 award). Creative Action's work spans school-based arts residencies for elementary students, multidisciplinary creative youth development programs centered on film, theater, and visual arts, and afterschool and summer learning programming. Representative prime grants from the NEA include a 2026 project grant supporting school-based arts residencies for elementary students in Austin (award date January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2026), a 2024 project grant for multidisciplinary creative youth development (award date January 1, 2024, completion December 31, 2024), and a 2022 project grant supporting personnel costs and program supplies for creative youth development in film, theater, and visual arts (award date January 1, 2022, completion December 31, 2022). In its sub-recipient role, Creative Action received a $420,600 AmeriCorps investment award under The Onestar National Service Commission as prime grantee (award date September 1, 2022) to deploy twelve AmeriCorps members providing afterschool and summer learning programs to prekindergarten through fifth-grade students across twelve Austin public elementary schools, targeting 900 or more students with outcomes in academic, social, and emotional skill development.
Creative Action's recent activity is sparse — one award per year in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, with one award in 2026 — and the organization has obligated $1.5 million across all fourteen federal awards over the life of the source data. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
