The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) offers the America’s Media Makers Grant to support diverse public humanities media projects. This grant funds interactive digital media (websites, games, podcasts), film and television programs, and radio projects. Proposals must draw content from humanities scholarship, exploring significant figures, events, or developments, and be intended for national or regional distribution. The NEH encourages projects featuring multiple formats to deepen audience understanding, potentially incorporating complementary components like exhibitions or discussion programs. Grants are available for Development, focusing on content and outreach planning, and for Production, supporting the creation and distribution of these engaging humanities programs.
