✅ Congress has funded the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) at $207 million each for FY2026.

Your advocacy made a difference and is a true demonstration of the impact of your voice. Thank you for standing up for New Jersey! Over 700 emails were sent throughout the appropriations process. 

What’s Next: This funding matters, but our work continues. The State of the Union is scheduled for February 26th, and the President’s FY 2027 budget will be released shortly thereafter. We’ll need your voices again. Stay connected with ArtPride New Jersey for timely updates on how to stay involved in the FY27 cycle.

Please take a moment to reach out to your Member of Congress to thank them for their support of the NEA and ask for their commitment to support robust funding for arts and culture in FY27.
