By awarding relatively small grants to support the planning stages, NEH aims to encourage the development of innovative projects that promise to benefit the humanities.
Proposals should be for the planning or initial stages of digital initiatives in any area of the humanities.
These grants are modeled, in part, on the “high risk/high reward” paradigm often used by funding agencies in the sciences. NEH is requesting proposals for projects that take some risks in the pursuit of innovation and excellence.
Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants have two levels of funding:
Level I Grants range from $5,000 to $25,000 in outright funding.
Level II Grants range from $25,001 to $50,000 in outright funding.

This program has three broad objectives:
1) to improve the quality of humanities education in the United States;
2) to reinforce the link between research and teaching in the humanities; and
3) to foster excellence in undergraduate instruction.
Teaching Development Fellowships cover durations lasting from three to five months and carry stipends of $4,200 per month. Thus the maximum stipend is $21,000 for a five-month award time period.
Applicants must request award periods that suit their schedules and the requirements of their projects. A request for a shorter award period will not boost one’s chances of receiving a fellowship.
Recipients can begin their award as early as June 1, 2010, and as late as March 1, 2011.
The award period must be continual. Fellows might carry up to a half-time teaching load while on tenure of the fellowship. The proposal’s workplan should reflect the applicant’s teaching load during the term of the proposed fellowship
Applicants need to have their department or program chair or dean certify in writing that the institution supports the proposed project and will offer the proposed course after the completion of the award..
Applicants must have completed formal education by the application deadline. Although applicants need not have advanced degrees, individuals presently enrolled in a degree-granting program are ineligible to apply. Graduate students seeking support for a degree in the humanities should consider the Department of Education’s Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program.
Those who have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its conferral may apply for a Teaching Development Fellowship, but such applicants need a letter from the dean of the conferring school, attesting to the applicant’s status as of October 1, 2009. This letter may be faxed to the Teaching Development Fellowships program at 202-606-8204; alternatively, a PDF version of the signed letter may be included as an attachment to an e-mail message sent to TDFellowships@neh.gov.
NEH does not accept applications by e-mail or fax

The federal government confirmed Monday its plans to award $234 million in government grants to non profits and organizations who are established members of the AmeriCorps program and helping to improve national services.
The US government and private organizations set aside millions of dollars every year through business grants that help companies get started, improve their trade and stay in business in hard times A lot of people will never apply for a free Government Grant since they somehow sense it isn’t for them, they could feel there’s too much red-tape involved (in which there isn’t), or they simply don’t know who to contact for this money.
$11.5 Billion has been given away in federal grant money for low income housing programs alone. There are also Reserved Free Government Grants now available for the following special interest groups. American Indians, Veterans, Family Members of Veterans, Low Income Families, Community Block Grants, Non Profit Organizations, First Time Home Buyers, Artists, and more.
