Deadline: 4-Feb-22
The Connecticut (CT) Humanities has launched a call for applications for the Quick Grants Program to help organizations create small-scale humanities programs that have big impacts on their communities.
Quick Grants support a wide range of community-oriented, public programs that help them understand and appreciate human history, culture, values, and beliefs. Quick Grants may fund implementation of small exhibitions, discussion-based public programs, local history tours, and community reading projects. All Quick Grant proposals must demonstrate significant humanities scholarship and content and must be:
- Open to the general public
- Free or low-cost to attend
- Clearly interpretive and based in the humanities

Connecticut Humanities (CTH) gives priority to projects that include significant humanities scholarship and content, explore topics and stories in an inclusive, diverse, and equitable manner, and do one or more of the following:
- Engage individuals and communities in the exploration of contemporary issues.
- Advance creativity and demonstrate ingenuity and innovation.
- Present accessible content that provokes, challenges, educates, and inspires.
- Ensure access to the project’s content and scholarship beyond the length of the grant.
- Foster collaboration among organizations, groups, and communities.
Funding Information
- Awards may not exceed $4,999. All Quick Grant project periods are nine (9) months in duration, beginning on the first day of the month following application submission.
- All CTH grant funded activities must occur and be completed within the nine (9) month project period.
