The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering funding through the "Rediscovering Our Revolutionary Tradition" program to promote the preservation and accessibility of primary source materials related to America's founding era. With a total anticipated funding of approximately $14 million, grants will be awarded in two categories: Individual Institution projects (up to $350,000 for two years) and Consortium projects (up to $750,000 for three years), with application deadlines on September 4, 2025, and January 15, 2026. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, accredited educational institutions, state and local governments, and federally recognized Native American Tribal governments.
