本年度大阅读适逢美国建国 250 周年,主题是透过国民的眼睛,呈现美国的文化、历史与韧性。NEA 主席 Mary Anne Carter 表示,这些获奖机构不只鼓励社区居民拿起一本好书,也让他们与过去相连、为未来建立联系。Arts Midwest 总裁兼首席执行官 Torrie Allen 说,各地的共读活动提醒人们,美国的故事仍在书写,每位读者都是讲述者的一部分。
获奖机构来自 47 个州和波多黎各,涵盖乡村、郊区与都市社区,其中 80% 是首次获得大阅读补助。每家机构将通过 Arts Midwest 获得 5,000 至 20,000 美元不等的配套补助,用于读书会、写作工作坊与各类创意活动。
首次获奖机构的例子包括:密歇根州 Tecumseh 的 River Raisin Ragtime Revue 将围绕《Harriet Tubman:通往自由之路》办活动,由扮演 Tubman 三十多年的历史讲述者 Kathryn Harris 主讲;北达科他州 Bismarck State College Foundation 将以诗人 Joy Harjo 的《一个美国式日出》呈现原住民声音;弗吉尼亚大学将结合馆藏爱伦·坡作品与一份珍稀的《独立宣言》印刷本开展活动。
NEA 大阅读自 2006 年启动以来已资助 1,800 多个项目、投入超过 2,500 万美元,活动遍及全美每一个国会选区,累计参与者超过 600 万人,地方配套资金超过 5,700 万美元。

NEA Names 2026-2027 Big Read Communities: 71 Nonprofits Share $1,089,030
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), in partnership with Arts Midwest, has announced the 2026-2027 NEA Big Read communities: 71 nonprofit organizations nationwide will receive a total of $1,089,030 to support programming centered on a book from the NEA Big Read Library.
This year's Big Read honors 250 years of the American story, celebrating the country's culture, history and resilience through the eyes of its citizens. NEA Chairman Mary Anne Carter said the grantees are not only encouraging community members to pick up a great book, but also engaging them with the past while inviting them to create connections for the future. Arts Midwest President and CEO Torrie Allen said grantees are reminding readers that American stories are still being written, and that every reader has a part in that telling.
Grantees come from 47 states and Puerto Rico and represent rural, suburban and metropolitan communities. Eighty percent are receiving their first NEA Big Read grant this year. Each grantee will receive a matching grant ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 through Arts Midwest to support book discussions, writing workshops and creative activities.
First-time grantee examples include the River Raisin Ragtime Revue in Tecumseh, Michigan, which will program Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom with historian Kathryn Harris, who has portrayed Tubman for more than three decades; the Bismarck State College Foundation in North Dakota, showcasing Native voices through poet Joy Harjo's An American Sunrise; and the University of Virginia, which will highlight its Poe holdings alongside a rare printing of the Declaration of Independence.
Since 2006, the NEA has funded more than 1,800 Big Read programs with more than $25 million, reaching every Congressional district in the country, drawing more than 6 million attendees and leveraging more than $57 million in local funding.
