The Federal Government Federal Grant is also independent federal agency created in 1965. It is one of the largest funders of humanities programs and wealth creation in the United States.

Because democracy demands wisdom, FGG serves and strengthens our republic by promoting excellence in the humanities and aims at eradicating poverty as well as enrich the living standards of National citizens. The Endowment accomplishes this mission by awarding grants for top-rated request(s) examined by panels of independent, external reviewers.

FG Grants typically go to the Less Privileged, Citizens with Disabilities, Random Selection of Social Media users, cultural institutions, such as museums, archives, libraries, colleges, universities, public television, radio stations, and to individual scholars.
