These are capacity-building grants, intended to help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Grants can be used to establish or enhance endowments or spend-down funds (that is funds that are invested, with both the income and the principal being expended over a defined period of years) that generate expendable earnings to support ongoing program activities. Funds are also used for one-time capital expenditures (such as construction and renovation, purchase of equipment and acquisitions) that bring long-term benefits to the institutions and to the humanities more broadly. http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/challenge.html
