July 8, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
The National Endowment for the Arts on Tuesday announced nearly $29.78-million worth of stimulus grants to 633 arts organizations across the United States, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The funds — which the federal agency said are intended “to support the preservation of jobs that are threatened by declines in philanthropic and other support during the current economic downturn” — nearly complete the allocation of the $50-million in federal arts aid included in President Obama’s stimulus package. The agency announced $19.8-million in grants in April.
