NALAC Introduces New Transnational Cultural Remittances Grant Program

NALAC is pleased to announce the introduction of a new competitive grant program, the Transnational Cultural Remittances (TCR) grant.  The deadline for submitting an application and mailing support materials is Friday, July 24, 2009.

This program is available to individuals, collectives and community-based organizations in the United States, Mexico and Central America that are engaged in the practical exchange of culture through transnational community connections developed and maintained by culturally and economically-linked communities.

A project of the National Association of Latino Arts & Culture with support from the Ford Foundation, the Transnational Cultural Remittances program is designed to increase understanding, support and recognition of the cultural impact of continued migration and connection between Mexico, Central America and the United States.

Through the TCR, NALAC and the Ford Foundation seek to identify exemplary cultural exchange projects that support grassroots artistic and cultural practices and strengthen social networks and economic justice across national boundaries.  Projects demonstrating an ongoing connection between two or more of the following countries will be eligible for consideration to receive a competitive TCR grant in 2009 or 2010:

Belize
Costa Rica
El Salvador
Guatemala
Honduras
Mexico
Nicaragua
Panama
United States

The NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA) marks its fifth funding cycle in 2009.  The deadline to submit completed applications is July 13, 2009.  Please click here to view the new requirements for the 2009 Funding Cycle. 

The purpose of the NFA is to provide financial support to Latino working artists and small and mid-sized Latino arts organizations* in communities across the country.  Additionally, NALAC strives to strengthen Latino artists and Latino arts organizations through direct training and technical assistance.  Click here to view the list of forms required.  The technical assistance period ends July 10.  If you have any questions regarding the process, email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

NALAC’s Advocacy Work

Throughout its 20 year history, NALAC has engaged in important national advocacy efforts to address the needs of the Latino arts field.  In January 2009, in response to growing concern about the effects on our community of the economic downturn, NALAC took a leadership role in several national advocacy efforts and participated in meetings in Washington, DC with representatives from the Obama administration as well as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.   In February 2009, NALAC, working alongside Americans for the Arts and other national arts service organizations, played an important role in getting $50 Million dollars in economic stimulus funds for the National Endowment for the Arts.
