Eligibility
Local, state and tribal governments, institutions of higher education, nonprofits in federally declared disaster areas
Role In Creative Placemaking

Placemaking can play a role in planning efforts, creative elements could be woven into infrastructure improvements, or an impacted community may wish to pursue an economic recovery strategy rooted in arts and culture.

Max Award
Maximum funding amounts can vary from year to year. We have provided the most recent information available. Where available, we also include a median or a range in cases in which the maximum is not typical of an average award.
Match Requirement
Most federal programs require some form of cost sharing. This is expressed differently for different agencies and programs. Sometimes a direct 1:1 match is specified. Other times, the application will state the maximum percentage of a project cost that the funding award can cover. We include this information, where available, in order to give you a sense of what to expect when applying for a particular funding program.
Compliance
Most federal funding programs will require financial and progress reports at least annually, along with a final report. We consider this to be a "moderate" compliance burden. Where a higher degree of data collection and reporting is indicated, we convey that information with a "substantial" rating.
