Partnership Grants for Community Organizations - Up to $8,000

Partnership grants are available to non-profit community organizations who are interested in designing and conducting annual series of humanities programs over a two year period.  Organizations must host a minimum of two to four programs annually that clearly relate to a well-defined central theme.  In addition to costs related to presenting a program series, grant funds may be expended on the development of complementary resources that extend the reach of the project.

Mini Grants for Community Organizations - Up to $2,000

Mini grants provide financial support for the planning and implementation of a variety of public humanities projects. Mini grant proposals are typically for small projects such as single events, lectures or panel discussions, reading and discussion groups, film series, and/or small exhibits.  Mini grants can also support the development of print and/or on-line resources which may include interpretive brochures, reading lists, audio/video recordings of scholar presentations, and classroom resources.

Major Grants for Community Organizations – Up to $15,000

Major grants provide support for the planning and implementation of large scale humanities projects or those that occur over a longer time frame than those funded by mini grants. Projects may be presented in a variety of formats including exhibits, multi-media resources, lecture series, book and film festivals, walking tours and maps, cultural heritage products, and many others. All applicants must first be pre-approved through a Letter of Intent process.
