Grants: America’s Media Makers

The National Endowment for the Humanities is inviting applications for its America’s Media Makers program, which supports the creation of humanities content and interactivity that engenders the “thoughtful reflection upon culture, identity, and history in creative and new ways,” officials say in a new announcement. Development and production grants for radio, television, and digital media projects are available under an Aug. 26 deadline (for initiatives starting in April 2010). Lead applicants are nonprofits and state and local government agencies, but independent producers can partner with one of these eligible entities on a submission.
