Tell Your Representative to Support Federal Arts Funding for FY26

Congress needs to hear from you as it makes decisions about next year’s funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)!

Contact your Representative today to ask that they join the bipartisan group of House members supporting increased funding for the NEA and NEH in FY26. Ask them to sign both the NEA and NEH appropriations request letters circulating in the U.S. House of Representatives.

NEA and NEH grants support job opportunities for union creative professionals in every state while providing all Americans with access to enriching programs that lift up local economies. These grants come with important workplace protections. NEA and NEH grants are particularly critical for rural Americans.

Taking action today helps get us closer to our ultimate goal of restoring federal arts funding to a full funding level of $1 per capita.
