– Cleveland County Arts Council Established by the N. C. General Assembly in 1972, the Grassroots Arts Program provides arts funding to all 100 counties through an extensive network of local arts agencies and partner organizations.
Funding is distributed on a modified per capita basis to ensure that all North Carolinians have access to high-quality arts experiences and can benefit from the vital role the arts play in their communities. The N. C.
Arts Council collaborates with the Cleveland County Arts Council to receive and manage the Grassroots funds. A portion of these funds will be awarded to county organizations as subgrants. Who is eligible to apply?
Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, organizations that are nonprofit in nature, and individuals are eligible to apply for subgrants. The first priority for awarding subgrants is to provide program or operating support to qualified arts organizations (where they exist), such as theaters, symphonies, galleries, art guilds, choral societies, dance companies, folk arts societies, writer’s groups, and arts festivals.
Subgrants of Grassroots funds may not be awarded to arts organizations that already receive operating support directly from the N. C. Arts Council.
The second priority for subgranting Grassroots funds is to support arts learning and arts-in-education programs conducted by qualified artists. These can be artist residencies in schools, after-school programs, summer camps, or adult arts learning classes.
Grassroots funds may not be used for activities associated with a school’s internal arts programs such as in-school student performances, the purchase of supplies, or student art competitions and publications. The third priority for awarding subgrants is to support other community and civic organizations that provide arts experiences for the greater community. These programs must be conducted by qualified artists.

NEA's FY2027 Partnership Agreement Grants (2027NEA04PA) put $59 million into 56 state arts agencies with a September 29, 2026 deadline. No individual arts nonprofit can apply. But this is the channel through which most NEA dollars actually reach small organizations — and the supplanting rule and 1-to-1 state cost share determine how much reaches yours.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, the NEA, NEH and IMLS jointly rescinded the disparate-impact provisions of 45 CFR Part 1110. No comment period, no delayed effective date, and an admission buried in the preamble: across FY2020 through FY2024 the agencies ran zero disparate-impact-only investigations. Here is what actually changes for grantees — and what does not.

Geography moved 19 points. First-time status barely moved at all. Here is what that means for the 2027 cycle.
