Opportunity Summary:
The Bridging Cultures Implementation Grants opportunity is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) discretionary grant program created to support large-scale humanities programming aimed at helping Americans better understand both the United States' cultural heritage and the cultures, traditions, and communities that have shaped American life. Rooted in Congress's stated vision for NEH, the program emphasizes the humanities as a way to foster mutual respect for diverse beliefs and values, strengthen civic and intellectual life, and expand public and scholarly discussion of global cultures as well as the many subcultures within Americas borders.
This competition specifically funds the implementation of a national or regional humanities program designed for broad and diverse public audiences. Proposals must be centered on one of two featured themes: Civility and Democracy, or The Muslim World and the Humanities. In practice, NEH is looking for projects that use humanities content and methods (history, literature, philosophy, ethics, religious studies, cultural studies, and related fields) to deepen public understanding, stimulate informed dialogue, and explore how cultural exchange and intellectual traditions have influenced American society and civic life. The emphasis is on programming with reach and public impact, not small, internal, or narrowly academic activities.
The award amount can be as high as $500,000, with no stated minimum award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this opportunity, which can make it more accessible for organizations that do not have significant non-federal funding to commit. The funding activity category is Humanities, and it is listed under CFDA number 45.164 (Promotion of the Humanities - Public Programs), signaling that the primary aim is public-facing humanities work.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types that commonly run public humanities programs. Eligible applicants include private and public institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable); state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and related public entities. This range suggests NEH intended the program to support partnerships and large initiatives that can operate at regional or national scale, such as consortia, statewide humanities organizations, university-based centers with public programming capacity, museum or library-led collaborations, and government-affiliated cultural or educational agencies.
Key dates for the posted opportunity show it was announced May 26, 2011, with an application deadline of August 2, 2011, and an archive date of September 1, 2011. The listing identifies NEH as the administering agency, and points applicants to the detailed guidelines page at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/BridgingCulturesImplementation.html.
