The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Nevada Humanities Inc. $709,874 on June 1, 2026, under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129).

Nevada Humanities delivers humanities education, lifelong learning, and public humanities programming across Nevada through general operating support and subawards to local institutions and organizations. The recipient hosts public events and lectures, sponsors discussion groups, develops humanities education curricula, and promotes understanding of history, literature, philosophy, and related disciplines tailored to Nevada's geographic and demographic needs. Work is performed statewide in Nevada with administrative oversight in Reno.

The award period runs through April 30, 2031. The Federal/State Partnership program provides general operating support grants to state and jurisdictional humanities councils to advance knowledge and understanding of the humanities and increase public awareness of and support for the humanities throughout the United States. Councils retain discretion to set their own guidelines and criteria for assessing subaward proposals within their states. The period of performance is five years, with funds required to be expended during the first three years.

The council tailors its subaward making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of nevada. In doing so, IT delivers on its mission to connect and transform communities by sharing and amplifying the stories, ideas, experiences, and traditions of the people of nevada.]
