The ASA congratulates its members on receiving National Endowment for the Humanities grants from the National Humanities Alliance. The full press release and list of ASA awardees appears below.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Humanities Alliance released the following statement today from its Executive Director Stephen Kidd on the August announcement of $43.1 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support 219 humanities projects nationwide:

“The latest round of grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities will provide professional development opportunities for K–12 educators and college faculty, preserve our nation's cultural heritage, and support humanities infrastructure throughout the nation. This also marks the first round of Infrastructure and Capacity-Building Challenge Grants which require a match of nonfederal funds. These innovative grants can be used for construction and renovation projects, preservation and conservation of humanities collections, and sharing humanities collections between institutions. Collectively, NEH grants bridge partisan divides by providing access to the humanities in every state and territory.

“The NEH’s investments generate public-private partnerships, cutting-edge research, promote teaching, and provide lifelong learning opportunities. They create jobs and community hubs in rural and urban areas alike. Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have continued to affirm the value of these programs to their communities, recently passing a funding increase for the NEH for the fourth year in a row.

“We are immensely proud of the NEH’s impact across the U.S. and will continue advocating for increased federal support for future grants in 2019 and beyond.”
