About Real Art Ways, Inc.

The organization has received seventeen federal grant awards totaling $2.1 million obligated dollars across nineteen years of federal funding relationships, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with no subgrantee activity.
Real Art Ways' customer base is concentrated within arts and cultural agencies. The National Endowment for the Arts funds 88% of the organization's federal grant portfolio (15 awards), with the remaining awards distributed to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (1 award) and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (1 award).

Award activity has been sparse and episodic — one award per year across 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2026, with no awards recorded for 2023 or 2025. The organization has one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
