The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) offers grants for America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations, available in two categories: planning and implementation. Planning grants support initial development, including refining humanities ideas, scholarly consultation, audience evaluation, design, and research, essential before applying for full execution. Implementation grants fund the final preparation and presentation of projects to the public, such as exhibitions or digital formats. Applicants for these must demonstrate strong humanities scholarship and have most planning completed. This NEH grant supports diverse projects like traveling and long-term exhibitions, interpretive websites, historic place interpretation, reading programs, and other creative formats that engage audiences with humanities ideas.

| Description: | NEH offers two categories of grants for Americas Historical and Cultural Organizations: planning and implementation grants. Planning grants are available for projects that may need further development before applying for implementation. This planning can include the identification and refinement of the projects main humanities ideas and questions, consultation with scholars, preliminary audience evaluation, preliminary design of the proposed interpretive formats, beta testing of digital formats, development of complementary programming, research, or the drafting of interpretive materials. Sample narratives from successful planning grant applications are available under theunder the Program Resources section on the first of the guidelines. You may request additional samples by sending an e-mail message to publicpgms@neh.gov. Implementation grants support the final preparation of a project for presentation to the public. See application guidelines for Implementation Grants. Applicants must submit a full walkthrough for an exhibition, or a prototype or storyboard for a digital project, that demonstrates a solid command of the humanities ideas and scholarship that relate to the subject. Applicants for implementation grants should have already finished most of the planning for their projects, including the identification of the key humanities themes, relevant scholarship, and program formats. For exhibitions, implementation grants can support the final stages of design development, but these grants are primarily intended for installation. Americas Historical and Cultural Organizations grants support traveling exhibitions that are presented at multiple venues; long-term exhibitions at one institution; interpretive websites or other digital formats; interpretation of historic places or areas; reading and discussion programs; panel exhibitions that incorporate complementary programming formats; and other project formats that creatively engage audiences in humanities ideas |
