General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

The Amerika Samoa Humanities Council (ASHC) is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization, that was established in 1995 on this U.S. Territory. Our annual programs supports the mission of the National Endowment for the Humanities. We strategically implement programs to 1) to increase and advance knowledge and understanding of the humanities, and 2) to increase public awareness, access to, and appreciation of the humanities at the national and local level. Thus, a competitive re-grant program continues to be one of our major activities, and a Council Conducted and Special initiative program are structured to reach the communities throughout the islands. The Council takes pride in working in partnership with the government agencies, the public, and private sectors in broadening the mission of the Endowment.
