Native Arts and Culture | National Endowment for the Arts

The National Endowment for the Arts provides grants to Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities and organizations for a wide range of arts activities, from traditional to contemporary arts. Watch a video presentation on our general grantmaking and the tutorial about using our online "Grant Application Form". Our flagship program is GRANTS FOR ARTS PROJECTS. These grants support artistically excellent projects that celebrate our creativity and cultural heritage, invite mutual respect for differing beliefs and values, and enrich humanity. Cost share/matching grants generally range from $10,000 to $100,000. A minimum cost share/match equal to the grant amount is required.
