Deadline: 15-Jan-25
The New Hampshire Humanities has launched the Major Project Grants for eligible organizations to support public humanities programs across the state.
They welcome applications proposing creative and engaging public humanities programs that will advance NH’s cultural networks and provide opportunities for NH residents of all ages to learn about the world in which they live.
Proposed projects may focus on any topic but must explore the subject matter through a humanities discipline or framework.
Funding Information
- Award Amount: up to $10,000.
Award Period
- Periods of performance begin on the first day of the month and end on the last day of the month.
Program Criteria
- Successful applications will meet the following criteria:
- Proposed Program
- The program must qualify as a humanities program. Public humanities programs bring the insights and methods of the humanities disciplines – for example, history, literature, philosophy, or cultural studies – to analytically explore a topic. Successful applicants will demonstrate how their program’s design will interpret or explore a chosen topic or issue to encourage participants to learn more about the subject.
- Expertise: The project must involve at least one individual with scholarly expertise in the program’s subject matter who will play an active role in the project’s development or execution. A scholar’s expertise may result from an advanced academic degree (MA, ABD, PhD, or J.D.) in a relevant field or come from serving as the keeper of community traditions and knowledge. Examples of scholars include but are not limited to tribal elders or historians, advanced graduate students, or a professor at a university.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible applicants:
- Private nonprofit organizations;
- institutions of higher education;
- state, local, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments;
- groups of persons that form an association to carry out a project.
- Organizations based outside of NH are eligible to apply, but applicants will need to demonstrate how their project will engage NH residents to receive funding.
- NHH cannot award grants to for-profit or foreign entities.
Ineligibility Criteria
- NHH grants cannot be used for any of the following purposes:
- To fund non-humanities, art or performance-based programs, including musical performances.
- To advocate for a political ideology policy, cause, or party.
- To advocate for a particular religion.
- To provide social services.
- To offer scholarships or prize money.
