Deadline: 16-Aug-21
Applications are now open for the Humanities Kansas SHARP Recovery Grants to support Kansas cultural organizations that provide humanities programming and are facing financial hardship due to the coronavirus.
Grants are to be used for general operating support, staff retention, and needed digital and/or operational transitions for cultural work in the post-pandemic era. SHARP Recovery Grants are intended to reach a diverse network of urban and rural cultural nonprofits located in Kansas whose primary work involves the humanities.
Purpose
These are general operating support grants intended for salaries, rent, utilities, and technical and consultant needs related to a digital or operational transition. Funds should be used within 4 months
Funding Information
Award amounts are divided into three categories based on an organization’s annual budget:
- Organizations with an annual budget of $100,000 or less may request up to $5,000.
- Organizations with an annual budget between $100,000 and $400,000 may request up to 5% of their budget ($5,000-$20,000).
- Organizations with an annual budget over $400,000 may request up to $20,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be nonprofit organizations in Kansas whose primary work is in the humanities. Examples include but are not limited to museums, libraries, archives, historical societies, and historical sites. A 501(c)(3) status is not required.
- Applicant organizations must have a DUNS number. A DUNS number is a nine-digit number used to track federal funding. DUNS numbers are always free, but the application process does take time.
