NEH Grants Available

The Division of Public Programs at the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities funds humanities projects that are intended for broad public audiences at museums, libraries, historic sites and other historical and cultural organizations.

Planning and implementation grant applications from America's Historical and Cultural Organizations may be submitted at two annual deadlines: August 27, 2008, and January 21, 2009. New application guidelines are now posted on the NEH Web site (www.neh.gov). Grants support interpretive exhibitions, reading or film discussion series, historic site interpretation, lecture series and symposia, and digital projects. NEH especially encourages projects that offer multiple formats and make creative use of new technology to deliver humanities content.
Applications will also be accepted at both deadlines for Interpreting America's Historic Places grants, which promote public understanding of American history through interpretation of significant American places.

Program officers in the Division of Public Programs are available to assist you, whether it is to discuss projects or to read a draft of a proposal.
