NEA Big Read Grants: Apply by January 26
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read focuses on "bringing communities together around the shared activity of reading and discussing a book" and supports approximately 75 community reading programs. Programs include author readings, book discussions, art exhibits, lectures, film series, music or dance events, theatrical performances, panel discussions, and other events and activities related to the community’s chosen book from the NEA Big Read library.
Libraries apply for funding through a grant program managed by Arts Midwest. Matching grants range between $5,000 and $20,000 and recipients are also provided with resources, outreach materials, and training on various aspects such as working with local partners, developing public relations strategies, and leading book discussions and Q&As.
Visit Arts Midwest’s website for complete grant guidelines and to apply. The deadline for applications is January 26, 2022.
