Television Projects: Production Grants
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports television documentary programs or historical dramatizations that address significant figures, events, or developments in the humanities and draw their content from humanities scholarship. Projects must be intended for national distribution during prime time hours, whether on public television, commercial television, or cable networks. Production grants support the preparation of a program for broadcast. The project should also show how the program's narrative elements and visual approach will combine to present the intellectual issues.

Public Television Grants
The foundation is interested in public television as an educational medium. Grants primarily provide partial support for major educational series assured of national airing by PBS. Consideration will also be given from time to time to single stand-alone programs of exceptional merit; however, Trustees prefer series with lasting educational value. The contribution to students in grades K-12, higher and continuing education is a consideration in evaluating competing proposals. Children's series are of particular interest. Consideration also will be given to innovative uses of public television (including online efforts) to enhance educational outreach in schools and communities. Proposals for capstone grants which assure completion of production funding are preferred.
