Join NEA staff for a presentation on the FY25 Our Town grant guidelines and tips for submitting a competitive application at the August 1, 2024 deadline. The presentation will cover key components of Our Town grants and highlight characteristics of successful applications in this program.

Our Town is the National Endowment for the Arts’ creative placemaking grant program. The Our Town program requires partnerships between arts organizations and local governments for projects that have social, economic or physical impacts. The ultimate goal of Our Town is to seed longer term systems changes and to sustain support and recognition of arts, design, and cultural strategies as integral to every phase of community development across the United States. Since 2011, the agency has funded projects in all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands.
