Summary

Overview

Who We Are The humanities help us understand ourselves, our communities, and our histories. By increasing collective understanding, we can spark positive change and create a more just society. We curate stories, co-create engagement opportunities, increase knowledge, and produce resources in the areas of education, civic renewal, immersive experiences, and public programming to catalyze ideas. Our grantmaking allows us to strengthen the bonds between us, celebrate our past and traditions, appeal to the best within ourselves, and educate the next generation of leaders. Ethnic Media Grants Through the State of Minnesota’s 2025-2027 biennial legislation and the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (Legacy), the Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) will administer $472,500 for ethnic media grants to ethnic media organizations that work to create, celebrate, and teach the art, culture, and heritage of the many diverse cultural groups that make up Minnesota, including but not limited to Indigenous organizations, communities whose culture and heritage have been historically underrepresented, recent immigrant communities, and veterans. The Legislature in providing this funding is seeking to fund ethnic media organizations throughout Minnesota to create video content in a language other than English. An applicant that receives funding under this grant opportunity must do at least one of the following: Preserve and honor the cultural heritage of Minnesota, Provide education and student outreach in cultural diversity, Support the development of culturally diverse humanities programming, including arts programming, or Empower communities in building identity and culture, including preserving and honoring communities whose Indigenous cultures are endangered or disappearing.
