The National Endowment for the Arts, established by Congress in 1965 as 
an independent Federal agency, is the official arts organization of the 
United States Government. It is dedicated to supporting excellence in 
the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; 
and providing leadership in arts education.
Through its grants and programs, the Arts Endowment brings great art to 
all 50 States and 6 U.S. jurisdictions including rural areas, inner 
cities, and military bases. The Arts Endowment awards competitive 
matching grants to nonprofit organizations, units of State or local 
government, and federally recognized tribal communities or tribes, for 
projects, programs, or activities in the fields of artist communities, 
arts education, dance, design, folk and traditional arts, literature, 
local arts agencies, media arts, museums, music, musical theater, opera, 
presenting, theater, and visual arts. In addition, it awards competitive 
nonmatching individual fellowships in literature and honorary 
fellowships in jazz, folk and traditional arts, and opera. Forty percent 
of the Arts Endowment's grant funds go to the 56 State and 
jurisdictional arts agencies and their 6 regional arts organizations in 
support of arts projects in thousands of communities across the country.
