Opportunity Information: Apply for 20200907 BP BR GE GG GI
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Public Programs, offered the Public Humanities Projects grant to support humanities-based projects designed for general audiences, with a strong emphasis on in-person public programming. The central goal of the program is to bring humanities ideas and scholarship out of academic or specialist settings and into accessible formats that help the public engage with meaningful questions, stories, and cultural themes. Funded projects are expected to draw on credible humanities scholarship and use it to interpret significant topics in fields such as history, literature, ethics, and art history, translating research and interpretation into experiences that the public can participate in and learn from directly.
This opportunity was a discretionary grant program (CFDA 45.164) within the broader humanities and cultural affairs funding area. It was structured to support a limited number of awards, with an expected 19 grants funded. The maximum possible award amount was listed as $1,000,000, indicating the program could support large-scale, high-impact public humanities efforts. The opportunity was published with a creation date of August 6, 2020, and the final closing date of January 6, 2021, but it also noted two separate application deadlines: September 7, 2020 and January 6, 2021. Applicants were instructed to select the correct submission package associated with the deadline they intended to meet.
Eligibility was broad and included multiple types of public and nonprofit entities that commonly deliver public-facing humanities work. Eligible applicants included 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 nonprofit category). Overall, the program was positioned for organizations capable of producing high-quality public programming grounded in humanities scholarship and aimed at reaching wide, non-specialist audiences through direct, in-person engagement.Apply for 20200907 BP BR GE GG GI
