# National Endowment for the Arts

The National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Endowment) is the independent federal agency whose funding and support gives Americans the opportunity to participate in the arts, exercise their imaginations, and develop their creative capacities. Through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector, the Arts Endowment supports arts learning, affirms and celebrates America’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, and extends its work to promote equal access to the arts in every community across America.

**Funding Opportunities**

**National Endowment for the Arts funding opportunities**The National Endowment for the Arts offers grants for organizations for specific projects and to individuals in the areas of creative writing and translation. Grant opportunities include:
                    - Grants for Arts Projects in Arts Education  support projects for pre-K–12th grade students, the educators and artists who support them, and the schools and communities that serve them. The Arts Endowment supports three types of projects:                       - Direct learning grants support arts instruction for students, generally pre-K through 12th grade, that result in increased knowledge and skills in the arts, helping them reach their full potential.
                      - Professional development grants build the capacity of urban and rural classroom teachers and teaching artists to effectively teach and measure student learning in the arts.
                      - Collective impact grants transform schools and communities by providing access and engagement in the arts for all students through collective, systemic approaches. Collective Impact projects create lasting systems change tailored to community needs, fundamentally altering the ways in which the components and structures of a system behave and interact over time.
                    - Research Grants in the Arts  grants support research that investigates the value and/or impact of the arts, either as individual components of the U.S. arts ecology or as they interact with each other and/or with other domains of American life. A listing of working papers, publications, and presentations that so far have resulted from Arts Endowment research grants in the area of education are available  here .
                    - Research Labs  funds transdisciplinary research teams grounded in the social and behavioral sciences, yielding empirical insights about the arts for the benefit of arts and non-arts sectors alike. One of the areas of special interest is the arts, creativity, cognition, and learning.
