[For the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities statement of organization, see Code of Federal Regulations, Title 45, Part 1100]

The general purpose of the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities is to encourage and support national progress in the humanities and the arts.

The National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities was created as an independent agency by the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965 (79 Stat. 845; 20 U.S.C. 951 note). The Foundation consists of a National Endowment for the Arts, a National Endowment for the Humanities, and a Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Each Endowment has its own Council, composed of the Endowment Chairman and 26 other members appointed by the President, which advises the Chairman with respect to policies and procedures and reviews applications for financial support and makes recommendations thereon.

The Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities consists of 14 members, including the two Endowment Chairmen, and is designed to coordinate the activities of the two Endowments and related programs of other Federal agencies.

National Endowment for the Arts

The activities of the National Endowment for the Arts are designed to foster

the growth and development of the arts in the United States, to preserve and enrich the Nation's cultural resources, and to provide opportunities for wider experience in all the arts.

The Endowment awards grants to individuals, State and regional arts agencies, and nonprofit organizations representing the highest quality in the fields of architecture and environmental arts, crafts, dance, education, expansion arts, folk arts, literature, museums, music, media arts (film, radio, and television), theatre, and the visual arts.

The programs of the National Endowment for the Arts have three basic goals: to encourage broad dissemination of highest quality arts across the country; to assist our major cultural institutions to improve standards and to provide greater public service; and to give support that encourages creativity among our most gifted artists, preserves our cultural heritage, and advances the quality of the life of our Nation.

National Endowment for the Humanities

The activities of the National Endowment for the Humanities are designed to promote and support the production and dissemination of knowledge in the
