The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is an independent
federal agency created in 1965. It is one of the largest funders of
humanities programs in the United States.
Because democracy demands wisdom, NEH serves and strengthens our
republic by promoting excellence in the humanities and conveying the
lessons of history to all Americans. The Endowment accomplishes this
mission by awarding grants for top-rated proposals examined by panels of
independent, external reviewers.
NEH grants typically go to cultural institutions, such as museums,
archives, libraries, colleges, universities, public television, and
radio stations, and to individual scholars. The grants:
- strengthen teaching and learning in schools and colleges
- facilitate research and original scholarship
- provide opportunities for lifelong learning
- preserve and provide access to cultural and educational resources
- strengthen the institutional base of the humanities
