About the company
Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, a New York-based nonprofit organization focused on American history education and preservation, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants and contracts from humanities and veterans affairs agencies, with no subcontracting footprint. The organization competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis—no set-aside designations appear across its federal award portfolio.
Gilder Lehrman's federal work centers on K-12 educator professional development, curriculum development, and public humanities programming grounded in primary-source analysis and historical scholarship. The organization delivers teacher training institutes, lesson plan creation, traveling exhibitions, and online educational resources. Representative work includes a $174,607 National Endowment for the Humanities grant (CFDA 45.163, Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program) awarded October 1, 2023, for "Pacific Crossings: Asian American and Pacific Islander Histories, 1870s to the Present," a residential summer institute for grades 6-12 teachers; a Veterans Legacy Program grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration awarded June 6, 2024, through December 31, 2025, for "Vietnam Veterans: Legacies of Service," encompassing lesson plans, teacher professional development, and a student award program; and a $79,950 firm fixed-price Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration contract (September 30, 2021–September 30, 2022) to develop educational outreach materials and lesson plans promoting memorialization of veterans' legacies through regional cemetery websites.
The organization's customer base concentrates heavily with the National Endowment for the Humanities (17 awards, $7 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration (6 awards, $200 thousand combined potential value), accounting for 96% of recent awards. The Department of the Interior National Park Service contributed one $93,805.85 purchase order (July 27, 2022) for "Gilder Lehrman NPR Training" services. Most recent awards carry low ceiling values and represent project grants rather than large indefinite-delivery vehicles; the organization holds one seat on Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C78619D0135 with one task order valued at $60 thousand. Activity volume has been episodic—one award in 2021, three in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026—with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars ($7.6 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($301 thousand), reflecting the organization's invoiced revenue from historical grant work that predates the current source snapshot window.
