American Stories Act

This bill, known as the American Stories Act, would allow the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities to fund projects that help people better understand civics and the U.S. Constitution. The key provision adds a new category of eligible funding that supports films, radio programs, videos, and similar media projects focused on constitutional education. These grants would be distributed through the existing grant-making processes of both foundations to organizations that create content about American civic values. The bill does not create new agencies or change existing funding amounts, but rather expands the types of projects these two organizations can support with taxpayer money.
