The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) funds humanities projects that explore stories, ideas, and beliefs in order to deepen our understanding of our lives and our world. Two kinds of grant – planning or implementation – are available. Proposals should encourage dialogue, discussion, and civic engagement, and they should foster learning among people of all ages.

America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations grants can support:

• traveling exhibitions that are presented at multiple venues;
• long-term exhibitions at one institution;
• interpretive websites or other digital formats;
• interpretation of historic places or areas;
• reading and discussion programs;
• panel exhibitions with complementary programming formats

Up to 30 awards will be funded, ranging up to $1,000,000. The deadline is August 18, 2010.
