On Wednesday, March 1, 2023, from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm ET, Arts Endowment staff will conduct a webinar on the Challenge America guidelines. The webinar will include an overview of the funding category and tips for applicants, as well as a Q&A session.

Challenge America offers support primarily to small organizations for projects in all artistic disciplines that extend the reach of the arts to groups/communities with rich and dynamic artistic and cultural contributions to share that are underserved. Challenge America features an abbreviated application, a robust structure of technical assistance, and grants for a set amount of $10,000. Grants require a cost share/match of $10,000 consisting of cash and/or in-kind contributions. Total project costs must be at least $20,000 or greater.

Closed captioning, ASL and Spanish interpretation will be available. Please request other reasonable accommodation by Friday, February 17th, 2023.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
