We the People Challenge Grants in United States History, Institutions, and Culture: NEH invites applications for We the People Challenge Grants in United States History, Institutions, and Culture. This program, part of NEH's We the People program, is designed to help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for humanities activities that explore significant themes and events in American history, thereby advancing knowledge of how the founding principles of the United States have shaped American history and culture for more than two hundred years. The Endowment particularly welcomes proposals for programming at America's historic places (historic sites, neighborhoods, communities, or larger geographical regions) as well as applications that address this theme through the use of digital technologies. NEH challenge grants are capacity building grants. NEH challenge grants help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Grants may be used to establish or enhance endowments that generate expendable earnings for program activities. Funds may also be used to support long-term costs, such as construction and renovation, purchase of equipment, acquisitions, and conservation of collections. Because of the matching requirements, these NEH grants also strengthen the humanities by encouraging nonfederal sources of support. Applications are welcome from colleges and universities, museums, public libraries, research institutions, historical societies and historic sites, public television and radio stations, scholarly associations, state humanities councils, and other nonprofit entities. Programs that involve the collaboration of multiple institutions are eligible, as well, but one institution must serve as the lead agent and formal applicant of record.
