New Year, New Ideas, New Grants!
How can your organization use humanities ideas, skills, and experts to help NH people think about the issues that matter in their lives, their communities, their world? Community Project Grants offer direct support from the New Hampshire Humanities Council for creative public humanities programs in your community. Think history, literature, philosophy! Archaeology, ethics, culture! Languages! Comparative religion! The history and interpretation of the arts, the sciences, of just about anything!
There are three project grant categories for 2012: Quick, Quarterly and Major. All involve a project director, a humanities expert, and a tax exempt NH organization as grant applicant. All provide live programming to a NH public audience. All are awarded on a competitive basis and require matching contributions from the applicant or others, cash and in-kind.
- Quick Grants offer up to $1,000 to support simple, single-event or short-series projects, and are available in as little as six weeks from submission deadline to first public event.
- Quarterly Grants of up to $5,000 are awarded four times a year. They are the heart of the Humanities Council's grantmaking, enabling all kinds of tax-exempt organizations to design and carry out multi-faceted projects.
- Major Grants of up to $10,000 are awarded twice a year. Whether acting as seed money to attract other funders or paying for the bulk of a project's cash expenditures, these grants have major impact by helping with critical aspects of project planning, research, and public presentation.
