The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent federal agency established in 1965 that supports a broad range of humanities programs across the United States. It is one of the largest funders of humanities initiatives in the country, providing grants to projects after review by panels of independent, external reviewers. Its mission centers on promoting excellence in the humanities and conveying historical lessons to the public in ways that inform democratic civic life.

The NEH is based in Washington, District of Columbia, and operates within the government administration sector with a relatively small staff. Grants are awarded to top-rated proposals through a peer-review process, which underpins the selection of funded activities. In funding humanities research and public programming, the agency serves a national audience of institutions and communities engaged in humanities work.
