PLEASE HELP SAVE THE National Endownment for the Arts. Today it is clear that earlier rumors regarding the new federal budget are now factual. The FY2018 budget proposed by the President eliminates funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It is critical to contact your federal representatives and ask for their support. Urge your organization’s trustees, colleagues, and audiences to do the same. CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE!
