NEA's The Big Read!

The National Endowment for the Arts is currently accepting applications from nonprofit organizations for the Big Read to conduct month-long, community-wide reads between September 2010 and June 2011.

The Big Read is a national program designed to revitalize the role of literature in American culture. Organizations selected to participate in The Big Read will receive a grant ranging from $2,500 to $20,000, access to online training resources, educational and promotional materials, inclusion of your organization and activities on The Big Read’s website, and the prestige of participating in a highly visible national program. Approximately 75 organizations from across the country will be selected by a panel of experts.
