Federal Grant Award Summary

Humanities Texas received a $969,889 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129), awarded June 1, 2026, with performance extending through April 30, 2031. As a state humanities council, Humanities Texas will deliver general operating support to subawardees and conduct public humanities programming throughout Texas, with emphasis in fiscal year 2026 on celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The organization's core services include supporting educational initiatives that improve classroom teaching quality, providing financial assistance to libraries and museums, and creating lifelong learning opportunities for Texas residents.

The state humanities council will expend grant funds through subawards to eligible local organizations and direct public programming tailored to the needs and interests of Texas communities. Humanities Texas will maintain comprehensive fiscal documentation and provide annual plans and activity reports to NEH staff and independent reviewers throughout the five-year funding period, consistent with program requirements that councils expend funds during the first three years of performance and retain expenditure records for three years following final reporting.
