Opportunity Information: Apply for 20230809 BP BR GE GG GI
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Public Programs, is offering the Public Humanities Projects grant to support humanities-based initiatives designed for broad public audiences. The central goal of the program is to help organizations translate humanities scholarship into engaging public experiences, whether delivered in person, in a hybrid format, or entirely online. Competitive projects are expected to draw directly on credible humanities research and interpretation, using that scholarship to explore meaningful themes and questions in fields such as history, literature, ethics, and art history. In practical terms, the program is aimed at projects that make humanities ideas accessible and compelling outside of strictly academic settings, with clear public-facing outcomes and programming that invites people to think more deeply about culture, society, and the human experience.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA number 45.164 (Humanities, with links to cultural affairs). NEH anticipates making about 20 awards, and the maximum award amount (ceiling) is $1,000,000 per grant, indicating that the program can support substantial projects with significant public reach or production needs. The funding opportunity was created on May 10, 2023, with an original application deadline of August 9, 2023, under funding opportunity number 20230809 BP BR GE GG GI.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of public and nonprofit institutions that typically lead public scholarship and community programming. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that particular nonprofit category). Overall, the opportunity is structured for organizations capable of developing and delivering high-quality public humanities programming grounded in scholarship and designed to reach general audiences through accessible formats and interpretive storytelling.Apply for 20230809 BP BR GE GG GI
