Humanities grants with open deadlines

38 currently open · refreshed daily

Humanities funding runs through NEH — public programs, preservation, digital humanities, and challenge grants — plus IMLS for museums and libraries. Historical societies, museums, libraries, and cultural nonprofits are the natural applicants. NEH is unusually transparent: sample funded applications are published on its site, and program officers will read a draft if you ask early. Deadlines cluster seasonally, so the count below swings through the year. Every currently open humanities opportunity is listed with live deadlines.
