NEA Our Town, FY 2025

The National Endowment for the Arts' Our Town creative placemaking grants program supports projects that integrate arts, culture, and design activities into efforts that strengthen communities over the long term. Successful projects demonstrate a specific role for arts, culture, and design as part of strategies for strengthening local communities, ultimately centering equity and laying the groundwork for long-term systems change tailored to community needs and opportunities. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Cost share/matching grants range from $25,000 to $150,000, with a minimum cost share/match equal to the grant amount. • The applicant/partner pair must include a nonprofit organization and a local government or quasi-government entity. • The Arts Endowment's support of a project may start on July 1, 2025, or any time thereafter, with a grant period of up to two years allowed.
