The National Endowment for the Humanities reinstated funding to nonprofits and state humanities councils after significant grant cancellations. California Humanities is prioritizing the distribution of these funds to grantees, which include various cultural projects across the state. Despite the reinstatement, the organization acknowledges the precarious nature of federal funding and is preparing for a future where NEH funding may not be available. They are seeking alternative funding sources while emphasizing the importance of federal support for cultural initiatives. California Humanities is advocating for the restoration of the NEH budget in future fiscal years.
The National Endowment for the Humanities unexpectedly reinstated a portion of funding to nonprofits and state humanities councils after millions of dollars in previously awarded grants were canceled on April 3.
California Humanities is now scrambling to get that money into the hands of its grantees, which include documentary filmmakers, theaters, museums, storytelling projects, and public events.
California Humanities intends to fully disburse all outstanding grants but acknowledges that the situation at the federal level could change unexpectedly.
California Humanities is reimagining its future, potentially facing a path without any NEH funding or the NEH itself, while urging Congress to restore the NEH's budget.
