FY 2004 Arts and Rural Community Assistance Initiative Forest Service Regions 1, 2 and 4

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Forest Service (FS) announce the sixth round of our Arts and Rural Community Assistance Initiative. This special grant program supports arts-based rural community development projects eligible under the FS Economic Action Program (EAP) guidelines. The funding level for the program in 2004 will only allow for participation in the following 10 states: Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming

The purpose of these grants is to help grantees demonstrate the importance and value of the arts in rural economic diversification and cultural resource conservation in forest and/or natural resource dependent areas. Through shared projects, this partnership has improved federal and state efforts to support sustainable, community-based activities.

All Rural Community Assistance Initiative applications are to be filled out and submitted via the Internet using WESTAF’s online grant system. Application Deadline: March 1, 2004.
