The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Federal/State Partnership is accepting applications for State Humanities Councils General Operating Support Grants. The purpose of this program is to provide general operating support grants to fund humanities councils in the 50 U.S. states and the jurisdictional territories.

With the General Operating Support Grants, state and jurisdictional humanities councils make humanities education and learning available at the state and local level, delivering on NEH’s mission to advance knowledge and understanding of the humanities and to increase public awareness of, access to, and support for the humanities in the United States. State and jurisdictional humanities councils tailor their grant making 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 United States and the jurisdictional territories.
