The National Endowment for the Humanities serves and strengthens our nation by supporting high-quality projects and programs in the humanities and by making the humanities available to all Americans.
The Humanities Initiatives programs aim to bolster the teaching and study of the humanities in higher education settings. They focus on more than just the provision of financial resources; they encourage the development or enhancement of programs, resources (including digital ones), or courses. These initiatives are dedicated to exploring, interpreting, and preserving the rich diversity of human cultures, ideas, and practices, both from the past and present. The program prioritizes projects that can make a significant impact on their audience's understanding and appreciation of the humanities.
