    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent, grantmaking
    agency established by Congress in 1965 to support research, education,
    preservation, and public programs in the humanities.

    According to the agency's authorizing legislation, the term
    ``humanities'' includes, but is not limited to, the study of the
    following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature;
    history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archeology; comparative religion;
    ethics; the history, criticism, and theory of the arts; and those
    aspects of the social sciences that employ historical or philosophical
    approaches.
        The Endowment makes grants to individuals, groups, or institutions--
    schools, colleges, universities, museums, public television stations,
    libraries, public agencies, and nonprofit private groups to increase
    understanding and appreciation of the humanities.

    Challenge Grants   Nonprofit institutions interested in developing new
    sources of long-term support for educational, scholarly, preservation,
    and public programs in the humanities may be assisted in these efforts
    by a challenge grant.

    For further information, call 202-606-8309.

    Education   Through grants to educational institutions and fellowships
    to scholars and teachers, this division strengthens sustained thoughtful
    study of the humanities at all levels of education.

    For further information, call 202-606-8500.

    Federal/State Partnership   Humanities committees in each of the 50
    States, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the
    Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and Guam receive grants from
    the Endowment, which they, in turn, grant to support humanities programs
    at the local level.

    For further information, call 202-606-8254.

    Preservation and Access  This division supports projects that will
    create, preserve, and increase the availability of resources important
    for research, education, and public programming in the humanities.

    For further information, call 202-606-8570.

    Public Programs  This division strives to fulfill the Endowment's
    mandate ``to increase public understanding of the humanities'' by
    supporting those institutions and organizations that develop and present
    humanities programming for general audiences.

    Research  This division promotes original research in the humanities by
    providing grants for significant research projects.
