The 2024 elections are behind us, but our mission remains the same—adequate funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities in Fiscal Year 2025. The NEA and NEH play a unique role in broadening access to and participation in the arts in every congressional district and should be more fully supported to expand and deepen their impact on our communities and our democracy.

We urge you to contact your Members of Congress and ask them to support the Senate’s version of NEA and NEH funding of $209 million. As it appears likely that Congress will continue its FY25 appropriations work into the new year, it becomes more important to contact Congress to protect vital arts funding.

We are proud to have partnered with you over the past year to advocate for the NEA and NEH. Because of your efforts, we successfully defended the NEA and NEH’s budget as the U.S. House of Representatives voted down two amendments that would have drastically cut NEA and NEH funding. However, our work continues to increase their funding for FY25. Reach out to your Members of Congress today!
