Award economics. The award range on file is $1 -- $300,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on October 25, 2016. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description
The enabling legislation of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), an independent federal agency in the executive branch, authorizes it to “establish and carry out a program of grants-in-aid in each of the several states”—the term “states” defined as including the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI)—in order to advance the humanities in each of the states. Through this planning grant NEH aims to facilitate the promotion and execution of excellent humanities programming in the U.S. Virgin Islands. State humanities councils make humanities education and lifelong learning readily available at the local level, uniquely tailored to residents’ needs and interests. They do so by drawing upon local resources and experiences. Successful humanities programming benefits communities by expanding knowledge of their history and culture and by promoting lifelong learning. The principal goal of this planning grant is to enable the grantee to establish a provisional USVI State Humanities Council. After one year (in April 2018) the provisional council would be eligible to apply for a General Operating Support Grant through NEH’s Office of Federal/State Partnership, if by the end of the award period it has met a series of governance, planning, staffing, programming, and reporting requirements.
