National Endowment for the Humanities

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is an independent federal agency based in Washington, District of Columbia. Established in 1965, the NEH employs approximately 110 people and generates an annual revenue of $50 million. As one of the largest funders of humanities programs in the United States, the NEH supports a wide range of projects and initiatives. These include grants for research, education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities. The NEH's funding supports institutions of higher education, museums, libraries, and other cultural organizations throughout the country. The NEH distinguishes itself through its rigorous grant review process. Proposals are evaluated by panels of independent, external reviewers who are experts in their respective fields. This ensures that funding is awarded to projects of the highest quality and scholarly merit. To learn more about the NEH and its programs, visit their website at neh.gov.
