Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available in the humanities?
Humanities funding supports scholarly research, public programs, curriculum and teaching, preservation and access, and digital humanities projects. The NEH offers many grant programs spanning fellowships, public programming, preservation, and digital infrastructure, while the Mellon Foundation and state humanities councils support research, institutions, and community-based humanities work.
Who funds the humanities?
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is the leading federal funder, and the Mellon Foundation is among the largest private sources of arts, culture, and humanities funding in the country. State humanities councils re-grant federal funds to local organizations, and universities, libraries, and private foundations provide additional research and programming support.
Do humanities grants go to individuals or institutions?
Both. The NEH and other funders award fellowships and stipends directly to individual scholars, writers, and educators, while many larger grants support nonprofit institutions such as universities, libraries, museums, and humanities councils. Individuals pursuing organizational grants often partner with an eligible nonprofit or use a fiscal sponsor.
