Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) offered this discretionary grant opportunity under its Bridging Cultures initiative to support organizations that want to plan and carry out an academic program built around two connected components: a public-facing forum and a program development workshop. The central purpose is to encourage humanities-based dialogue and capacity-building around one of two designated themes: "Civility and Democracy" or "The Muslim World and the Humanities." In practical terms, the grant is meant to help institutions bring scholars and other relevant participants together to explore these themes in depth, engage broader audiences through a forum format, and strengthen future humanities programming through a structured workshop that develops ideas, partnerships, and next-step plans.
The funding instrument is a grant, and it falls under the humanities funding activity category (CFDA 45.164, Promotion of the Humanities: Public Programs). NEH set relatively large award sizes for this opportunity, with funding ranging from a floor of $100,000 up to a ceiling of $250,000. Importantly for applicants, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award (though projects still typically need to present a credible budget and demonstrate the ability to execute the work as proposed).
Eligibility was broad and included multiple types of public and nonprofit entities that could reasonably host or coordinate academic and public humanities programs. Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and various levels of government such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and independent school districts. This mix suggests the program was designed to support partnerships and networks as well as single-institution efforts, so long as the applicant organization had the capacity to manage a substantial humanities program and the associated grant administration requirements.
The timeline information indicates the opportunity was posted on April 1, 2010, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of June 1, 2010, and it was archived on July 1, 2010. The funding opportunity number listed is 20100601 MB, which serves as an identifier for tracking and reference in NEH and grants.gov systems.
