National Endowment for the Arts Accepting Applications for Challenge America Fast-Track Grants
DEADLINE: MAY 8, 2014

The National Endowment for the Arts is accepting applications from small and midsize organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations, including those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability.

Through the Challenge America Fast-Track grants program, NEA will award grants of $10,000 s for projects that are designed to extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations. A minimum $10,000 match from an outside funder is required. Applicants are encouraged to consider partnerships among organizations, both in and outside  the arts, as appropriate to their project.

To be eligible, applicants must be nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3)  organizations in the United States; units of state or local government; or federally recognized tribal communities or tribes. All organizations must have a three-year history of programming prior to the application deadline.
