Is there no organisation in the US like the UK's arts council? How about a grant if there is?

The criterea for funding are generaly on a "who benefits" basis and I can think of no better organisation than the Mudcat for helping everyone, regardless of colour, creed, sex, social status or financial standing.

Failing that banner adds are fine by me (I usualy switch off graphics if they start to annoy!)
