Federal Project Number One

Federal Project Number One is the collective name for a group of projects under the Work Projects Administration, a New Deal program in the United States. Of the $4.88 billion allocated by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, $27 million was approved for the employment of artists, musicians, actors and writers under the WPA's Federal Project Number One.

The five divisions of Federal One were these:

  • Federal Art Project
  • Federal Music Project
  • Federal Theatre Project
  • Federal Writers' Project
  • Historical Records Survey (originally part of the Federal Writers' Project)
  • All projects were supposed to operate without discrimination regarding race, creed, color, religion or political affiliation.
