The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is currently accepting applications for its Public Humanities Projects program that bring ideas and insights of the humanities to life for general audiences through in-person programming.
Projects must engage humanities scholarship to analyze significant themes in disciplines such as history, literature, ethics, and art history.
Categories
- Exhibitions: The Exhibitions category supports the creation of permanent exhibitions (on view for at least three years) and single-site temporary exhibitions (open to the public for a minimum of two months), as well as traveling exhibitions that will be available to public audiences in at least two venues in the United States (including the originating location).
- Historic Places: The Historic Places category supports long-term interpretive programs for historic sites, houses, neighborhoods, and regions that are intended to be presented to the public for at least three years. Such programs might include living history presentations, guided tours, exhibitions, and public programs.
- Humanities Discussions: The Humanities Discussions category supports series of at least six in-person public programs related to “A More Perfect Union:” NEH Special Initiative Advancing Civic Education and Celebrating the Nation’s 250th Anniversary.

Eligibility Criteria
- U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, state and local governmental agencies, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments are eligible to apply.
- Eligible organizations include institutions of higher education.
- Individuals, foreign and for-profit entities are not eligible to apply.
- Eligible applicant institutions may submit multiple applications for separate and distinct projects under this announcement. Project directors may also submit applications for two different projects at the same time. If so, project directors should explain in the applications how they would allocate their time if they were awarded more than one award.
- Applications must be complete, must observe the specified page limits, and must be received and validated by Grants.gov under the correct funding opportunity number by the application deadline to be considered under this notice.
- NEH generally does not issue awards to other federal entities or to applicants whose projects are so closely intertwined with a federal entity that the project takes on characteristics of the federal entity’s own authorized activities. This does not preclude applicants from using grant funds from, or sites and materials controlled by, other federal entities in their projects.
