Of Nearly 600 Arts Organizations Recommended for a Covid-19 Relief Grant, Only 6 Percent Support Film
Of the nearly 7,500 arts organizations that applied for grants from the federal government’s Covid-19 Stimulus Package, 35 film organizations received funding totaling $3.9 million. When they received notification, they were asked to keep their status under embargo. Last week, the National Endowment for the Arts revealed the full list of recipients.
In total, the NEA’s share of the stimulus funding totaled $57,750,000; of that, funding for film organizations represented a little less than seven percent.
