National Endowment for Humanities

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is a U.S. government agency that supports research, education, and public programs in the humanities, which include fields like history, literature, philosophy, and cultural studies. Established in 1965, the NEH provides grants to institutions and individuals to promote academic projects, preserve cultural heritage, and enhance public engagement with the humanities. By funding various initiatives, the NEH aims to deepen our understanding of human culture and foster informed citizenship, ensuring that humanities education remains accessible and valued across society.
