About the company
Humanities Tennessee, a Nashville-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization and Tennessee's state humanities council, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts to deliver public humanities programming and distribute subawards to organizations and institutions across Tennessee. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.
Humanities Tennessee's federal footprint consists entirely of grant work across two customer agencies. The National Endowment for the Humanities accounts for 17 of 30 total awards, and the National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 13 awards, representing 100% of Humanities Tennessee's federal activity. Recent grant work includes a $738,710 five-year Project Grant from NEH under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129), awarded June 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for April 30, 2031. This general operating support grant funds the council's development and distribution of humanities-focused educational initiatives, community engagement activities, and local subawards throughout Tennessee. Earlier grants include NEA support for staff salaries for literary programming (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), an NEH "United We Stand" supplement (September 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024) designed to foster cross-cultural understanding, contextualize community and state history, and promote civic engagement, and an NEH National History Day supplement (September 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024) aimed at extending outreach to underserved communities and recruiting diverse judges and educators.
Activity has been sparse and inconsistent. The source reports two awards in each of 2021 and 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026, with a combined dollars obligated of $21.7 million across all thirty awards since 2007. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure near term. Humanities Tennessee does not serve as a subcontractor to other federal recipients and does not place federal subawards or subcontracts; it distributes grant funds to local cultural and educational organizations as subawardees in compliance with NEH and NEA program requirements.
