National Endowment for the Humanities Announces Picturing America School Collaboration Projects Grant Opportunity

Building on the national distribution of its Picturing America program, the National Endowment for the Humanities invites proposals for local and regional projects that foster collaboration between K-12 educators and humanities scholars for the purposes of encouraging “engagement with the rich resources of American art to tell America's story."

The Picturing America School Collaboration Projects grant opportunity is designed to help teachers and librarians form connections between the Picturing America images and coursework in the school’s core curriculum. Picturing America is part of the endowment's We the People program.

Funded projects should support one or more conferences of one or two days each, accommodate at least twenty-four participants at each conference, and provide opportunities for participants to engage with scholars, museum and library professionals, and other experts. Conference attendees may include public school teachers, teachers at charter schools, members of home school consortia, and faculty from independent and religious schools.

Grants of up to $75,000 will be awarded for projects involving one or more conferences. The grant period will be twelve months.

Any U.S. nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is eligible to apply for a grant, as are state and local governmental agencies and tribal governments. Grants will not be awarded to individuals.
