Description

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Federal/State Partnership is accepting applications for State and Jurisdictional Humanities Councils General Operating Support Grants. The purpose of this program is to provide general operating support grants to fund humanities councils in the United States and its jurisdictions. State and jurisdictional humanities councils tailor their grantmaking and programs to the needs, resources, and interests of their state or jurisdiction, while also extending the reach of NEH-funded projects and further strengthening NEH’s connection to local communities throughout the U.S. and its jurisdictions. NEH determines annual funding for each state and jurisdictional humanities council according to a legislatively mandated formula.
