General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

NJCH’s mission is to harnesses the power of the humanities to strengthen our pluralistic society. We accomplish this work by providing and seeding public programs that use the humanities to deepen our understanding of ourselves and our world. One of our most popular programs is the Public Scholars Project, a cost effective and accessible service that provides 200 high quality humanities programs to nonprofit organizations each year. NJCH also partners with the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street traveling exhibition program. In keeping with our philosophy of working in partnership with other organizations, we award approximately $300,000 in grants through a competitive proposal review process.
