“American Rescue Plan” Grants

With the passage of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) by Congress on March 15, 2021, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) received $135 million in federal funding to assist humanities organizations across the country affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The state humanities councils, including Florida Humanities, have each received a portion of the NEH award to provide immediate funding in their respective states to museums, archives, historic sites, and other humanities-focused nonprofits that continue to experience financial hardship as a direct result of COVID-19.
