Florida Humanities Community Project Grants provide funding to nonprofits and public institutions across Florida to develop and implement humanities-rich public programs that meet the needs of local communities.
Florida Humanities’ Community Project Grants support the development and delivery of humanities-based learning experiences, known as public humanities programming, for Floridians to encourage thoughtful reflection, analysis, and consideration of important topics relevant to local communities, and the state writ large. At their core, these grants embody their mission to preserve, promote and share the history, literature, culture and personal stories that offer Floridians a better understanding of themselves, their communities and their state.
This funding opportunity aims to increase public participation in and access to the humanities by providing relevant, engaging, and meaningful humanities-based programming to all.
