The Geiss and Hsu Foundation concentrates its giving on humanities scholarship about early modern East Asia—especially Ming China—by funding fellowships, specialized courses, workshops, and small research grants at universities and scholarly centers. Grants are project- and personnel-focused (postdoctoral fellowships, named fellowships, course support, and research grants), typically routed to academic institutions, rare-book/special-collections programs, and humanities centers rather than to broad community services.
James P Geiss and Margaret Y Hsu Foundation Inc concentrates on humanities scholarship about early modern East Asia, with a particular emphasis on Ming China. Its recent grants support postdoctoral fellowships, rare-book and special-collections teaching, workshops, journals, exhibitions, translation projects, and open-access publication in universities and scholarly organizations. The largest recent award in the data is $72,944 to the University of British Columbia for the Geiss-Hsu Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ming Studies, a two-year postdoctoral appointment for a scholar working on the Ming dynasty or a closely related field. Another substantial grant of $60,000 supported a Geiss Hsu fellow at the National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The foundation’s funding pattern favors academic infrastructure rather than general operating support. It backs named fellowships, research grants, and program-specific awards that move through university libraries, presses, and humanities centers. In the recent grants list, Princeton University Library received support for research grants, while Rare Book School received funding for a course on books in Ming China at Princeton. The foundation also supports scholarly communication through journal editorship, book prizes, and translation-based publishing projects.
One major thread is postdoctoral training in Ming studies. The foundation gave $72,944 to the University of British Columbia for the Geiss-Hsu Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ming Studies, and $60,000 to the National Humanities Center for a Geiss Hsu fellow. A second area is teaching and research built around rare books and special collections: Rare Book Arts Press/Rare Book School received $57,000 for the course “Books in Ming China, a Rare Book School Course at Princeton,” and Princeton University Library received $27,000 for foundation-supported research grants. The foundation also supports scholarly exchange and public-facing humanities work. Michigan State University received $28,404 for a workshop on “Failure, Maintenance, Recycling, and Transport in Early Modern East Asia,” while the University of North Carolina at Charlotte received $14,805 for the conference “China on the Move.” In publishing, the foundation backed open-access and translation projects at University of Washington Press and Columbia University Press.

Small, concentrated portfolio of relatively large project-specific grants (roughly $25k–$75k) across a handful of academic and research institutions; support is targeted and recurrently directed toward fellowship/program support rather than broad operating funding.
Notable grantees: The University of British Columbia (Geiss‑Hsu Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ming Studies), National Humanities Center (Geiss‑Hsu Fellow), Rare Book School / Books Arts Press (course support: Books in Ming China), Princeton University Library (research grants / fellow support), Michigan State University (workshop on early modern East Asia)
Grant sizes are modest and concentrated in the low five figures: the typical award is $7,125 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $16,626 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows both one-off project grants and recurring support for the same kinds of institutions, especially university presses, scholarly societies, and academic centers. The foundation also makes grants to individuals, including fellowships administered through host institutions. It accepts unsolicited applications across several active programs, including conference and travel grants, project awards, residential fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships, publishing awards, and book prizes.
Giving is national, with 85.2% of recipient grants in the United States and 13% of grants to recipients in the headquarters state of New Jersey. Outside the U.S., recent grants went to Vancouver, Research Triangle Park, Charlotte, Cambridge, Charlottesville, New York, Seattle, East Lansing, Tempe, South Hadley, Ithaca, Granada, Taipei, and China. The recipient-country distribution also includes Canada, the UK, Spain, Taiwan, and China. That mix shows a U.S.-centered funder with occasional international academic support tied to Ming studies and related humanities work.
It funds academic institutions, humanities centers, university presses, scholarly societies, and library-based programs. Recent grants went to groups such as the University of British Columbia, the National Humanities Center, Princeton University Library, Rare Book School, and University of Washington Press.
