The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) offers the Media Projects grant to support the development and production of engaging public humanities content across diverse media formats. This grant is for creating interactive digital media, film and television projects, and radio programs that draw from humanities scholarship, exploring significant figures, events, or ideas. Film and TV projects must be intended for national distribution, while radio projects can be regional or national. The NEH encourages multi-format proposals that expand audience understanding through complementary components like exhibitions. Two categories are available: Development grants assist in content preparation and outreach planning, and Production grants fund the full creation and distribution of approved projects, aiming to bring humanities insights to a broad public.
