Humanities

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is an independent federal agency established in 1965. Its mission is to advance humanities education, research, and public engagement across the United States. The NEH has awarded over $6 billion in grants to support projects that preserve cultural heritage, enhance educational curricula, and foster public understanding of history, literature, and philosophy. The NEH provides grant funding and programmatic support in several key areas. It strengthens education through professional development for educators, funds preservation projects for historical documents and artifacts, and supports public engagement initiatives like exhibitions and documentaries. The agency also awards grants for scholarly research in various humanities fields. Key divisions include the Division of Education Programs, the Division of Preservation and Access, and the Division of Public Programs, each focusing on enhancing access to and understanding of the humanities.
