NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES: The endowment’s grant-making
operations are conducted through four divisions and three offices. Through
grants to educational institutions and opportunities for teachers, the Division
of Education Programs is designed to strengthen sustained, thoughtful study
of the humanities at all levels of education. Through fellowships to individual
scholars and support of collaborative projects, the Division of Research
Programs promotes significant original research in the humanities. The Division
of Public Programs supports a wide range of public humanities programs that
reach large and diverse public audiences through a variety of program formats,
including interpretive exhibitions, radio and television broadcasts, lectures,
symposia, interpretive multimedia projects, printed materials, and reading and
discussion programs. The Division of Preservation and Access makes
grants for projects that will create, preserve, and increase the availability
of resources important for research, education, and public programming in the
humanities. The Office of Federal/State Partnership makes grants to
citizens’ committees in each state to provide support for local humanities
projects. Nonprofit institutions interested in developing new sources of
long-term support for humanities programs may seek assistance from the Office
of Challenge Grants. The Office of Digital Humanities encourages and
supports projects that use or study the impact of digital technology on
education, preservation, public programming, and research in the humanities.
General eligibility: The endowment supports the work of individual scholars and
not-for-profit institutions and organizations engaged in projects involving the
humanities. Those institutions include universities; four-year colleges; junior
and community colleges; elementary and secondary schools; educational, cultural,
professional, and community groups; museums and historical organizations;
libraries; public agencies; and public radio and television stations. The
endowment welcomes applications for support from all such institutions and
groups, from individual US
scholars with or without academic affiliation, and from foreign nationals who
have been living in the US
or its territories for at least three years at the time of application. Fields
of support: According to the act that established the endowment, the humanities
include, but are not limited to, the following fields: history, philosophy,
language, linguistics, literature, archaeology, jurisprudence, history and
criticism of the arts, ethics, comparative religion, and those aspects of the
social sciences employing historical or philosophical approaches. This last
category includes cultural anthropology, sociology, political theory, and
international relations. Gifts-and-matching grants: An applicant may sometimes
be offered a “gifts-and-matching” grant as a supplement to an outright grant or
as the sole form of endowment support. When the endowment offers to support a
project through one of these grants, it is up to the grantee to raise gifts
from outside his or her own organization to a level approved by the endowment.
The endowment then matches this money with federal funds, but the total sum
that can be federally matched is limited by the annual congressional
appropriations for that purpose. Challenge grants: These grants offer one
federal dollar for every three raised from nonfederal sources. Challenge grants
may be used to establish or enhance endowments and funds may also be used for
one-time capital expenditures (such as construction and renovation, purchase of
equipment, and acquisitions) that bring long-term benefits to the institution
and to the humanities more broadly. Deadlines: Those interested in applying for
a grant in the humanities or learning about NEH program deadlines should visit http://www.neh.gov for information and guidelines
related to grant programs offered by the endowment. To speak with someone
directly, call 202 606-8446. (Hearing-impaired persons should call 202
606-8282.) E-mail inquiries should be sent to info@neh.gov.
For state humanities council deadlines, write or call NEH for the address of
the state humanities council office in your state.
