Description
This grant program, a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts and Mid-America Arts Alliance, provides funding for non-clinical, arts-based community projects aimed at improving the health, well-being, and quality of life for military-connected individuals who have experienced trauma. Projects may involve visual, performing, literary, or interdisciplinary arts and must foster creativity, social connection, resilience, and support for transition to civilian life. Activities can take place in healthcare, community, or virtual settings and are expected to build organizational capacity and partnerships serving military communities.
