By congressional mandate, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) allocates 40% of its annual grant-making dollars to state arts agencies and their regional arts organizations. NASAA has numerous resources to help members explain the importance of the state-federal partnership in supporting the arts:
NASAA members can request customized maps showing the distribution of NEA and state arts agency grants by a variety of geographies, including U.S. congressional districts and state legislative districts. Custom NEA Arts Investment Fact Sheets with state maps and state level talking points also can be generated for members upon request.
