NEH Invites Applications to Build Endowments for Research and Teaching of Western Civilization, American History and Government, and Civics Endowments for Advancing the Humanities The purpose of this program is to fund 20-year term endowments that advance the humanities on college and university campuses and at independent educational institutions, specifically by building the organization’s capacity in research and teaching of Western civilization, American history and government, and civics. Endowments are financed through a combination of NEH federal matching funds and non-federal gifts. Under this notice, “gifts” are defined as contributions of third-party non-federal funds or the recipient's own institutional funds. During the period of performance, you will raise and certify non-federal gifts that will be matched one-to-one with NEH federal matching funds. During the endowment term you will use income from the endowment for NEH-approved humanities purposes. You may request between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in federal matching funds, to be matched one-to-one with non-federal gifts. You may request up to an additional $100,000 in outright funds for fundraising support costs (salaries, consultants, contracts, or subawards for fundraising personnel only) and related indirect costs during the period of performance. NEH staff recommends all potential applicants read, in the following order:
