Fund your creativity

California is home to more artists than any other state. Creativity is an indelible part of our culture. And with each new work and project brought to life – every image, every word, every movement, every sound – we’re writing our own story and defining who we are, and who we aim to be. The art we make makes us.

The NEA is committed to supporting arts projects for the benefit of all Americans. Grants for Arts Projects (GAP) provides funding for public engagement with the arts and arts education, for the integration of the arts with strategies promoting the health and well-being of people and communities, and for the improvement of overall capacity and capabilities within the arts sector. We welcome applications from first-time and returning applicants; from organizations serving rural, urban, suburban, and tribal communities of all sizes; and from organizations with small, medium, or large operating budgets.

Our grant and scholarship programs are made possible by the generous contributions of donors, businesses, and organizations to funds that are established at, and managed by, the Community Foundation of the North State.

We invite you to browse our grant and scholarship opportunities, review their history, and apply online for those currently accepting applications.
