NEH Challenge Grant

In fall 2012, UNT Libraries established the Cathy Nelson Hartman Portal to Texas History Endowment with a lead gift from Cathy Nelson Hartman, the founder of the Portal. The endowment will enable UNT to extend the impact of the Portal by creating a permanent, sustainable source of income. Funds derived from this endowment serve as a catalyst for enhancing future technology development, acquisition and support; for adding collections and content to the Portal; and for educational, scholarly and research initiatives. In 2015, the UNT Libraries received a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant of $500,000. As part of UNT's commitment for the challenge grant, we were required to raise $1.5 million in non-federal funds.
