URGENT! SAVE THE National Endowment for the Humanities!  DOGE Rescinds NEH Grants - TAKE ACTION HERE!

NHA Statement on Threats to the NEH, Posted On April 1, 2025 by Alex Klein:

"On Monday, March 31, 2025 we learned that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is targeting the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded. DOGE is targeting a small federal agency that—with an annual appropriation that amounts to a rounding error in the U.S. budget—has a positive impact on every congressional district.
Established in 1965, the National Endowment for the Humanities is the only entity, federal or private, tasked with making the humanities accessible to all Americans. The NEH connects Americans in every state with our nation’s rich history and culture.

The NEH provides crucial support for cultural organizations. Through grants to libraries, museums, historic sites, educational institutions, and other cultural organizations—and its partnership with the state and jurisdictional humanities councils—the NEH:

• Enriches K-12 education
• Provides lifelong learning opportunities for a range of audiences
• Fosters community conversations
• Ensures rural access to high-quality humanities programs
• Supports Veterans
• Promotes civic education
• Supports cutting-edge research
• Celebrates local histories
• Preserves our cultural heritage
• Fosters local tourism economies
