Description
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Challenge Programs offers the Climate Smart Humanities Organizations grant to strengthen the institutional base of the humanities sector by funding projects that assess and strategically plan for climate change impacts. This program supports operational assessments and strategic planning efforts aimed at sustaining and protecting an organization's historical, cultural, educational, intellectual, and physical assets from climate-related risks.
Funded projects must produce a comprehensive climate action, resilience, or adaptation plan that includes detailed assessments, measurable actions, and expected outcomes. Proposals should clearly demonstrate how strategic planning for climate change will enhance the organization's resilience and support its humanities mission over the long term.
Funding is provided through a combination of federal matching funds and gifts raised from third-party, non-federal sources, emphasizing collaboration and resource leveraging.
