Nonprofit Grant Deadlines

Arts and culture grants for nonprofits

These grants support museums, libraries, humanities projects, historic preservation and the arts. Most of the current listings come from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service.

Federal cultural grants tend to run on a yearly cycle and reward careful planning, so a deadline that looks far away may already be close once you count the work samples, budgets and letters a panel expects. Smaller museums and libraries should look for programs with lower award sizes or a track for first-time applicants.

If you hold collections, have your care plan and catalog status at hand, since reviewers often ask about both.

Pick a grant below, open the official notice, and check who can apply before anything else.

17 open listings right now. The next deadline is November 4, 2026.
