The National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities is  the primary vehicle for federal support for the arts and the  humanities. Established in 1965, the Foundation currently  consists of three agencies: the Institute of Museum and  Library Services (IMLS), the National Endowment for the  Arts (NEA), and the National Endowment for the  Humanities (NEH). IMLS is funded through the Labor,  Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related  Agencies Appropriations Act. NEA and NEH are funded  through the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies  Appropriations Act. These three federal agencies provide  assistance to museums, arts centers, theaters, performing  arts, arts classes, arts programs, humanities programs, and  more.
