The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is the only federal agency in the United States dedicated to funding the humanities. Now, as the United States grapples with existential threats to its democracy, with persistent systemic racism, and with its changing climate, the humanities are more vital than ever. Under the leadership of Chair Shelly C. Lowe (Navajo), the first Native American to lead the agency, NEH is working with partners to leverage the humanities to strengthen the nation’s democracy, advance equity and access for all, and address its changing climate.
