On July 27th, NALAC hosted a webinar with the National Endowment for the Arts on the American Rescue Plan Grants to Organizations (ARP), with the goal of encouraging Latinx and culturally-specific organizations to apply for these relief funds. With over 200 participants, the webinar offered the most complete information about the application process and ended with an extensive Q&A. You can now access the recording of the webinar at this link: vimeo.com/580461521
These unique one-time grants are intended to support general operating costs, are open for first-time applicants, and do not require matching funds. The deadlines for application begin on August 12th and organizations may request a fixed grant amount of $50,000, $100,000, or $150,000.
