THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS
The National Endowment for the Arts is the largest annual funder of
the arts in the United States. An independent federal agency, the National
Endowment for the Arts is the official arts organization of the United
States government.
The National Endowment for the Arts awards more than $100 million annually,
investing in every state. For every discretionary dollar that the Arts
Endowment grants, at least seven dollars are generated from other sources.
Over the last 40 years, the Arts Endowment has played a transformative
and sustaining role in the development of regional theater, opera, dance,
orchestras, museums, and other arts -- both contemporary and traditional
-- that Americans now enjoy.
Mission
The National Endowment for the Arts is a public agency dedicated to supporting
excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to
all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education.
