NEH offers two categories of grants for America’s Historical and Cultural Organizations: planning and implementation grants.

Planning grants are available for projects that may need further development before applying for implementation

Implementation grants support the final preparation of a project for presentation to the public.

Grant Application and Submission Information:
NEH recommends that drafts be submitted at least six weeks before the deadline, so that staff will have adequate time to respond. A response cannot be guaranteed if drafts arrive after this date

See full application information here: http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/AHCO_ImplementationGuidelines.html#howto

Implementation grants may be used for:

* final consultation with scholars or other advisers;
* final exhibition design and fabrication, as well as crating and shipping;
* website development;
* completion of interactive program components;
* publication costs for complementary materials, including catalogs and curriculum guides;
* publicity expenses;
* staff training specifically for the project’s interpretive programs;
* development of teachers’ guides and curriculum materials;
* presentation and distribution of public programs and related materials; and
* audience evaluation.
