The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Pennsylvania Humanities Council $1,050,261 on June 1, 2026, under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129) to deliver subawards and public programming across Pennsylvania focused on civic education, public discussions, and activities in history, literature, and culture.

Pennsylvania Humanities Council, a Philadelphia-based tax-exempt nonprofit, receives general operating support to champion the humanities as a means to spark civic engagement, build community, educate, inspire, and make long-lasting change. The Council tailors its subaward-making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of Pennsylvanians, distributing federal support to Pennsylvania-based libraries, schools, and community organizations alongside direct public programming.

Performance runs through April 30, 2031, with work conducted in Pennsylvania. The award is a Project Grant, an assistance type within the Federal/State Partnership program's five-year general operating support structure that supports 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils nationwide. Under this program, state humanities councils set their own guidelines and criteria for assessing subaward proposals, widely disseminate those criteria within the state, and work toward NEH's strategic goals of advancing knowledge and understanding of the humanities and increasing public awareness of, access to, and support for the humanities.
