The Cultural and Community Resilience program supports community-based efforts to mitigate climate change and COVID-19 pandemic impacts, safeguard cultural resources, and foster cultural resilience through identifying, documenting, and/or collecting cultural heritage and community experience. The program prioritizes projects from disadvantaged communities in the United States or its jurisdictions, and NEH encourages applications that employ inclusive methodologies. This NOFO covers the January and May 2023 deadlines.
Please note, you should budget funds for two members of the project team to attend a two-day meeting in Washington D.C., in May 2025. See D2 in the Notice of Funding Opportunity for more information.
An instructional webinar with Q&A was held on March 7, 2023. A recording of the webinar is available below.
Read the Notice of Funding Opportunity to ensure you understand all the expectations and restrictions for projects delivered under this program and are prepared to write the most effective application.
