About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering the Climate Smart Humanities Organizations grant program to support strategic planning efforts by humanities organizations to mitigate the impacts of climate change and adapt to a changing climate. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, accredited higher education institutions, state/local governments, and federally recognized tribal governments. Funded projects must result in detailed climate action and adaptation planning documents that outline specific, measurable mitigation and adaptation actions to protect historical, cultural, educational, and physical assets. The program has two application deadlines - September 18, 2024 and September 17, 2025 - with award announcements expected in April 2025 and April 2026 respectively.
NEH anticipates awarding approximately $2,500,000 per deadline, funding 10-20 grants of up to $300,000 each. The federal funds must be matched 1:1 with third-party, non-federal gifts, resulting in total project budgets up to $600,000. Projects can last up to 24 months and can focus on either climate mitigation planning or adaptation planning, or both. This opportunity is offered under the Promotion of the Humanities Challenge Grants program (CFDA 45.130).
Synopsis
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Challenge Programs is accepting applications for the Climate Smart Humanities Organizations program. This program strengthens the institutional base of the humanities by funding operational assessments and strategic planning efforts to sustain and protect historical, cultural, educational, intellectual, and physical assets from the risks of climate change. Projects will result in a climate action, resilience, or adaptation plan including detailed assessments, measurable actions, and expected outcomes. Proposals must address how strategic planning for climate change will increase the organization's resilience and support its work in the humanities over the long term. Projects are financed through a combination of federal matching funds and gifts raised from third-party, non-federal sources.
