Opportunity Information: Apply for 20210609 MD MN MT
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Public Programs, is offering the Digital Projects for the Public grant opportunity (CFDA 45.164). This is a discretionary grant program designed to fund public-facing humanities projects that are experienced mainly through digital platforms. Rather than supporting purely technical work or general digitization alone, the emphasis is on interpretation and analysis of humanities content in ways that engage public audiences through well-designed digital formats.
Funded projects are expected to present humanities ideas, stories, and research in digital environments that people can actually use and explore. The program specifically points to formats such as websites, mobile applications (including app-based tours), interactive touch screens and kiosk experiences, games, and virtual environments. In practice, this means applicants should be proposing a digital product or experience that helps the public understand humanities topics more deeply, using digital design and interactive features as a core part of how the interpretation is delivered.
The opportunity is administered by NEH (Agency Name: National Endowment for the Humanities) and was posted with a creation date of March 10, 2021. The original application deadline listed for this round was June 9, 2021 (Funding Opportunity Number: 20210609 MD MN MT). NEH anticipated making around 16 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of up to $400,000 per grant, indicating support for projects that may require substantial content development, editorial work, design, and production to reach a polished public release.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, which reflects the program's public humanities mission. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments, as well as special district governments. Educational institutions can apply, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are eligible, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions) can also apply. This range makes the program accessible to museums, libraries, archives, cultural organizations, universities, tribal cultural offices, and government entities that develop public history and humanities programming.
Overall, Digital Projects for the Public is best understood as NEH support for digitally delivered public humanities: projects where the humanities content comes first, and the digital format is chosen and designed to make that content meaningful, accessible, and engaging for audiences outside of purely academic settings.Apply for 20210609 MD MN MT
