each got funding boosts in the government funding agreement passed by the House on Tuesday.
The National Endowment for the Arts’ funding was increased by $7.25 million to $162.25 million, the largest amount in a decade. The National Endowment for the Humanities also received a similar increase. The increase in government money for public broadcasting and the arts is a reversal of sorts, as the Trump administration had proposed zeroing out funding for each of the last three years. But those proposals have gone nowhere as Congress has set funding levels through a series of continuing resolutions to keep the government running.
“Technology, viewer habits and our public service missions have changed dramatically during this time, and this increase in funding to $465 million will enable local public television stations to educate more children, protect more lives and property, and equip more well-informed citizens with the tools they need to guide the world’s most important democracy,” he said.
