About the company
Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, doing business as LEH, is a New Orleans–based nonprofit organization that receives federal grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts to fund public humanities programming and subawards to Louisiana nonprofits, educational institutions, and community organizations. LEH operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, or BPAs, and it does not serve as a federal contractor subcontractor.
LEH's federal footprint consists entirely of NEH grants under the Promotion of the Humanities program (CFDA 45.129) and related NEH supplemental programs, with one NEA award. Across the past twenty years, LEH has received nineteen NEH awards and one NEA award, totaling $18.8 million in combined obligated dollars. Representative recent grants include a $697,703 Project Grant under the Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129) awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of April 30, 2031, supporting general operating assistance to distribute subawards and deliver statewide public humanities programming focused on Louisiana culture, history, civics, and the arts; a Project Grant under the "United We Stand" supplement program awarded September 1, 2023 (completed October 31, 2024), designed to foster cross-cultural understanding, contextualize community and state history, and educate the public on domestic extremism and hate-based violence; and a National History Day supplement grant awarded September 1, 2023 (completed February 28, 2025), which funded a subaward to the National World War II Museum and included scholar honoraria, teacher workshops under LEH's Institute for Louisiana Culture and History, and support for student and teacher travel to expand National History Day participation in underrepresented regions of Louisiana.
LEH's customer concentration is singular: the National Endowment for the Humanities accounts for 19 of 20 awards (100% coverage of recent activity), with the National Endowment for the Arts representing one award. Award velocity has been sparse and irregular — one award each in 2020, 2021, and 2022, two in 2023, and one in 2026 — indicating a grant pipeline driven by application cycles rather than continuous contracting. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. LEH operates through two named subsidiaries: Prime Time Family Reading and The Louisiana Humanities Foundation, both registered as nonprofit organizations. The organization's mission centers on making humanities education and public programming accessible to Louisiana residents through partnerships with communities, institutions, and individuals.
