Thank you for submitting an application for the FY26 Grants for Arts Projects program.

The National Endowment for the Arts is revising the FY 2026 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines in response to recent directives. The revised guidelines will be available on arts.gov/grants no later than Monday, February 10, 2025.

As part of these changes, the February 13, 2025, Grants for Arts Projects deadline has been canceled. The FY 2026 deadlines are now March 11, 2025, for GAP 1 and July 10, 2025, for GAP 2.

Organizations that have already submitted an application to the February 13, 2025 deadline (which is now cancelled) must submit a new application under one of these deadlines (March 11 or July 10, 2025). Applications to last year's July 2024 GAP 2 deadline are not affected by these changes.

A webinar covering the updated guidelines will take on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. (All webinars are free to attend; however, registration is required. Webinar recordings will be posted shortly after the presentations in the Applicant Resources section of the Grants for Arts Projects webpage.) In addition, frequently asked questions will be available in the Applicant Resources section.

Thank you,

National Endowment for the Arts
