About Us
NEA Our Town, FY 2025
Our Town is the National Endowment for the Arts’ creative placemaking grants program.
Through project-based funding, we support projects that integrate arts, culture, and design activities into efforts that strengthen communities over the long term.
Successful Our Town 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.
All applications are submitted by one organization and require one partner organization.
The applicant/partner pair must include 1) a nonprofit organization and 2) a local government or quasi-government entity.
Cost share/matching grants range from $25,000 to $150,000, with a minimum cost share/match equal to the grant amount.
The Arts Endowment’s support of a project may start on July 1, 2025, or any time thereafter.
A grant period of up to two years is allowed.
