President Releases FY 2007 Budget [Posted 2/26/06]02-06-2006: President Bush today sent his FY 2007 budget request to Congress, beginning the yearly appropriations process for the nation's cultural agencies and programs, including the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Office of Museum Services (OMS), Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and the Department of Education's Arts in Education programs. For FY 2007, the President has requested level funding for the NEA at $124.4 million and for the NEH at $141 million. However, the Administration is once again attempting to redistribute $3.46 million out of the longstanding and Congressionally popular NEA Challenge America program in favor of more general grant support and administrative salary and overhead costs. For the sixth consecutive year, the President's budget has eliminated funding for the Department of Education's Arts in Education programs, which include funding for model arts programs and collaborations with schools, teacher professional development, and arts programs for at-risk youth. The President's budget also recommends cutting $53.5 million from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in FY 2007. As a trusted community resource, CPB uses the power of noncommercial television and radio to enrich the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services. And finally on a more positive note, the President requested a funding boost of $4 million for the Office of Museum Services, bringing the total OMS budget to $36 million. We urge you to write your Members of Congress and urge them to support increased funding for the arts.
