Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) - Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) (2021)
The SVOG program provided over $16 billion in grants to live venue operators, theatrical producers, and performing arts organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This policy provided crucial financial relief to The Glimmerglass Festival and similar organizations, enabling their survival and recovery from pandemic-related closures.
Charitable Contribution Deduction Changes (2020-2021, various iterations)
Legislative changes during the pandemic allowed for expanded tax deductions for charitable contributions, including a temporary 'universal deduction' for non-itemizers.
These changes incentivized increased donations, potentially benefiting The Glimmerglass Festival's reliance on philanthropic support.
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Grant Programs (Ongoing)
The NEA provides federal funding and grants to arts organizations and projects across the United States, supporting artistic excellence, access, and learning.
Ongoing NEA grants provide vital financial support for The Glimmerglass Festival's artistic programming and educational initiatives.
