It's been a week since #NEH staff arrived at our jobs as public servants and discovered DOGE circumvented our databases and terminated our #humanities grants.
Over 1,400 grants have been terminated and the majority of staff have been placed on leave. We remain in shock at the scale and subterfuge.

On Monday, March 31, 2025 we learned that DOGE is targeting the NEH with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded.
