Opportunity Information: Apply for 20240905 AV
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), through its Division of Education Programs, is offering the "Dialogues on the Experience of War" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 20240905). This discretionary grant program is designed to fund organized study and discussion of major humanities sources focused on war and military service. The central idea behind the program is that reading, interpreting, and talking through historically and culturally significant materials can help U.S. military veterans, along with other participants, reflect more deeply on the personal, ethical, civic, and historical questions that war raises. Rather than emphasizing clinical or therapeutic services, the program is framed around humanities-based inquiry and facilitated dialogue grounded in texts and other sources.
Funded projects typically take the form of discussion groups where participants engage directly with carefully selected humanities materials related to military experience, conflict, and the broader impacts of war. The program is intentionally flexible about who can participate. A dialogue group may be made up entirely of veterans, including specific veteran subgroups such as student veterans or veterans living in a group facility. Groups can also include non-veteran students, members of the general public, military-affiliated individuals, or a mixture of these audiences. This inclusive design allows applicants to tailor programming to local community needs while still keeping the focus on shared, discussion-based engagement with humanities content.
In terms of basic funding details, the opportunity falls under the Humanities activity category and is listed under CFDA number 45.163. NEH expects to make around 10 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $100,000 per grant. The original application deadline is September 17, 2024, and the opportunity record was created on May 30, 2024. Because it is a grant program, applicants generally propose a defined set of dialogue sessions, readings or source materials, facilitation plans, and public-facing or educational outcomes that align with NEH goals.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category, since IHEs are listed separately). Applicants are directed to consult the Notice of Funding Opportunity, particularly the eligibility section, for the specific requirements and any conditions that may apply to program design, participant composition, or allowable costs.
Overall, this NEH opportunity supports structured, humanities-driven conversations about war that bring people together around primary texts and other significant sources, using dialogue as the core method. The grant is meant to enable organizations and institutions to create thoughtful spaces where veterans and others can examine the lived experience of war in historical, literary, philosophical, and cultural context, and to do so through guided discussion rather than lectures alone.Apply for 20240905 AV
