The Americans for the Arts Federal Resource Guides are a set of six documents that provide information about federal funding opportunities for nonprofit arts organizations. In this guide, arts organizations can learn more about programs from the EDA (Economic Development Administration) and SBA (Small Business Administration) that can fund a wide variety of arts-related projects that will create jobs, support local businesses, and promote economic growth in their communities. The guide features information about grant programs and how they might be applicable to arts organizations, case studies and examples of arts organizations that have received federal economic development funding, and potential next steps for interested applicants.
