Grants in the Arts
The Washington Post believes that basic arts literacy is as vital to a young person's education as basic skills in reading, writing and arithmetic. The Grants in the Arts program provides funds for arts education activities which enrich the standard curriculum, provide exposure to the visual and performing arts for all students, and encourage creativity and the development of interpreting and critical thinking skills. Selections of the grants averaging $300 are made by a committee of educators and arts community leaders. The deadline for Grants in the Arts for the 2009-2010 school year is Friday, November 8, 2009. Grants will be awarded in January 2010. 2009-2010 application coming soon. For more information, please call The Post's Public Relations department at (202) 334-7969.
