Subsídios | National Endowment for the Arts

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) State & Regional Partnership Agreement Grants provide funding to the 56 state and jurisdictional arts agencies (SAAs) and the six U.S. Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs). The program supports a wide range of arts projects that enhance cultural life, foster community engagement, and promote artistic innovation. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov and must be completed by the deadline of September 29, 2026. Selected agencies receive grant funding to support their projects, with the earliest project start date set for July 1, 2027. The program is open to SAAs and RAOs only; no other organizations may apply. The NEA provides no housing or travel support, and the application process is free of charge. The partnership agreement grants are part of NEA’s annual funding cycle, with new deadlines each year.

Partnership support is also available for national services to the state arts agencies.

SAA Partnership Agreement grants are limited to the fifty state and six jurisdictional arts agencies. RAO Partnership Agreement grants are limited to the six U.S. Regional Arts Organizations. The National Services Partnership Agreement grant is limited to non-profit organizations that have a three-year history of arts programming as a membership organization serving state arts agencies and regional arts organizations.
