Georgia Humanities Grant Program

The Georgia Humanities Grant Program aims to enhance community engagement through public humanities projects. Grants can fund lectures, exhibitions, and workshops, promoting dialogue among all ages. Projects should be accessible, enriching the lives of Georgia's citizens by addressing local concerns and encouraging shared experiences, ultimately strengthening community ties.

About Georgia Humanities
Georgia Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, shares and supports programming that engages all ages and backgrounds to explore what shapes us as individuals and binds us together as Georgians. As a facilitating organization, Georgia Humanities sees its grants program as an opportunity to better understand who is and isn’t served by ongoing humanities programming within the state. We look forward to partnering with organizations who are equally invested in this endeavor.
Georgia Humanities awards grants for cultural programs that bring together and strengthen communities through dialogue and shared experience.
Georgia Humanities supports the efforts of nonprofit organizations seeking to foster connections between people and ideas. Through a competitive process, we award grants to such cultural, civic, and educational entities as museums, libraries, universities, and historical societies for a range of projects, including walking tours, exhibitions, author talks, lecture series, and literary festivals. Proposed grant programs can also be virtual!
What we fund
Georgia Humanities awards program grants to support public humanities efforts across the state that are creative in their approach to organizing and delivering the knowledge and understanding of the humanities to the general public. Proposed projects should apply the vitality and substance of the humanities to the concerns of Georgia’s citizens and provide for a meaningful experience for the local community.
Grant-supported programs have included, but are not limited to, both in-person and virtual models of the following:
Lecture series, public seminars, or panel discussionsExhibitions (traveling or permanent) with related programmingHistoric walking and driving toursLiving history programsAuthor talksLiterary festivalsWorkshopsReading and discussion programs
All proposed projects should be open to the public at no or minimal cost, and should be designed for diverse audiences and points of view.
