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.
