Eligible Projects
An Action Grant proposal will be able to clearly articulate a program’s objectives, plan, and timeline. There will be very few questions you have left to answer before you’re ready to get the show on the road – you know what and who you need to make your project successful and are able to clearly identify the component parts of your project through your grant application and budget.
Example Action Grant Projects
- Fieldwork for an oral history project
- Hosting a series of public humanities programming, such as a facilitated reading and discussion program
- Creation of humanities-based public exhibitions and tours, both in-person and virtual
- Supporting associated humanities-based public programming for an exhibition
- Production of a digital humanities project or other humanities-based multi-media resources.
Criteria
- To be eligible for a New Jersey Council for the Humanities grant, you must apply on behalf of a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization or government entity, such as a public library, museum, historical society, academic institution, religious group, or community organization.
- Organizations that have a mission outside of the public humanities, such as arts and social service organizations, are eligible to apply if the funding would support public humanities work. They do not award grants to for-profit organizations or to individuals.
- Applicant organizations must have either a federal EIN or NJ tax-exempt registration number. All applicants must have at least one year of verifiable public operation prior to submitting their proposal.
