Establish a 20-year term endowment that advances the humanities, specifically by building research and teaching of Western civilization, American history and government, and civics.
The purpose of this program is to fund 20-year term endowments that advance the humanities on college and university campuses and at independent educational institutions, specifically by building the organization’s capacity in research and teaching of Western civilization, American history and government, and civics.
Endowment projects will focus first on fundraising. You may propose up to three years to raise and certify non-federal gifts that will be matched one-to-one with NEH federal matching funds. Under this notice, "gifts" are defined as contributions of third-party non-federal funds or the recipient's own institutional funds. Once you have certified the required amount of non-federal
gifts, you will establish a term endowment and spend its income to advance the work of the humanities at your organization.
