Notify NHA about grant terminations!

It is imperative that grantees who have been affected by the terminations reach out to their Members of Congress directly. We can help you make this contact. Fill out this form to let NHA know about the termination & get contact info for the appropriate staffers: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today (4/3/25) we learned that DOGE has begun terminating previously awarded NEH grants. We understand this includes operating grants to the state and jurisdictional humanities councils, scholarly societies, community orgs, & individuals.

On Monday, March 31, 2025 we learned that DOGE is targeting the NEH with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded.
