Montana groups get nearly $1M in National Endowment for the Arts grants

The National Endowment for the Arts has announced nearly $1 million in grant money for Montana arts projects and organizations.

It’s the second round of funding announcements for the fiscal year from the agency, which has been marked for elimination in President Donald Trump’s budget.

The Montana Arts Council received the largest grant of those announced last week: $779,700, marked for an NEA-approved state strategic plan. The council is a state government agency with a wide range of programs and services, that in one way or another, funds arts activities in every county in the state.

The annual NEA grant is "a large chunk of our current and future funding," said Kristin Han Burgoyne, one of the council’s interim co-directors.
