CT Humanities: Public Presentation Implementation Grant

The CT Humanities: Public Presentation Implementation Grant supports the execution of humanities projects such as exhibitions and public programs. It is designed for projects ready for implementation and requires applicants to demonstrate significant humanities scholarship. The grant encourages proposals that clearly define goals and highlight the intersection of humanities with other fields like arts or STEM. This grant is an opportunity for projects that enhance public understanding of humanities themes.

What are Implementation Grants?
Implementation Grants support the execution of humanities projects, such as exhibitions, public programs, and interpretive digital media projects. The implementation stage is intended for projects that are ready to bring to fruition. For projects that require research or development before implementation, please view our Planning Grants.
Although a Planning Grant is not required to receive an Implementation Grant, and receipt of a Planning Grant does not guarantee Implementation funding, a competitive Implementation Grant application will discuss the research, planning, and development work conducted leading up to the grant request.
Implementation Grant proposals must demonstrate significant humanities scholarship and content and articulate clearly defined goals that will be achieved during the project.
What are the humanities?
They include (but are not limited to) history, cultural studies, civics, literature, and art history and criticism. For a more complete view of the humanities, click here.
What about the arts? What about STEM?
CT Humanities supports the intersection of the humanities and other fields such as arts or STEM. Implementation Grants can fund projects that explore this intersection of humanities and other fields. For example, the production of a play with supporting programming that helps the audience to better understand the humanities themes of the play could be funded by an Implementation Grant. In this case, CTH would primarily consider funding the supporting humanities programming.
