Eligibility Criteria
- Nevada Humanities project grants are awarded only to organizations recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and government entities such as local and tribal governments, museums, libraries, educational institutions, and other nonprofit or governmental humanities organizations.
- All applicants must provide an active and valid federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) and a unique Dun & Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number when submitting their applications.

- In addition:

- Applicants must comply with state and federal nondiscriminatory statutes.
- Grantees must retain auditable records of grant funds and cash and in-kind matching contributions and services for three years following the end of the grant period.
