NEH Announces CARES Act Funding

Application Deadline: May 11
Maximum Funding: $300,000
Period of Performance: June 15, 2020 to December 31, 2020 Application Length: 3 pages, single-spaced More Information at:
https://www.neh.gov/program/neh-cares-cultural-organizations

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act recognizes that the nonprofit humanities sector is an essential component of America's economic and civic life.  The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has received supplemental funding to provide emergency relief to institutions and organizations working in the humanities that have been affected by the coronavirus.  In keeping with Congress's intent in enacting the CARES Act, proposed short-term projects should emphasize retaining or hiring humanities staff.

NEH invites applications from eligible organizations seeking support for at- risk humanities positions and projects that have been impacted by the coronavirus.  Through this funding opportunity, NEH will award grants to museums, libraries and archives, historic sites, independent research institutions, professional organizations, colleges and universities, and other cultural organizations across the country to help these entities continue to advance their mission during the interruption of their operations due to the coronavirus pandemic.

NEH CARES Act webinar: Hosted by the National Humanities Alliance, this recorded info session provides an overview of the quick and relatively simple application process to NEH for maintaining staff during the COVID-19 crisis.
