New Hampshire Humanities Grants 

 

UPDATE: New Hampshire Humanities is NOT currently accepting proposals for Community Project Grants.

On April 1, 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) proposed cutting the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) budget by $175M—an 80% reduction that would effectively shut down the agency. 

These cuts INCLUDE prematurely canceling grants specifically made to fund state humanities councils. This funding, obligated by the government’s continuing resolution, canceled without warning almost half of New Hampshire Humanities funding for the remainder of the year. 

New Hampshire Humanities will honor all Community Project Grant contracts that have already been approved. We are not accepting any new applications at this time while we assess the federal funding situation. If you would like additional information, please see our public statement.
