Eligibility Criteria
Georgia Humanities awards program grants to Georgia-based nonprofit organizations—they do not award grants to individuals. Georgia Humanities has previously awarded grants to such cultural, civic, and educational entities as museums, public libraries, colleges/universities, historical societies, historic homes and sites, historic preservation and archaeological organizations, and government entities in support of a range of projects. Organizations are not required to be incorporated as a 501(c)(3) to apply
- Georgia Humanities will not award an organization more than one program grant per grant year.
- College/university applicants should interpret all eligibility requirements at the department level, i.e. Georgia Humanities considers college/university departments as entities independent of one another for the purposes of program grant award determinations. However, it should be noted that all applicants from the same college/university per grant cycle are considered in the same pool of applications.
- Organizations that have received two years of consecutive grant funding must wait one full grant year before reapplying. For example, organizations which received a Georgia Humanities program grant in both FY2019 and FY2020 are not eligible to receive a program grant in FY2021, but may reapply starting FY2022. This policy applies to awarded grants of $2,000 or less in FY2019 and FY2020 only—receipt of a CARES Act Emergency Operating Grant from Georgia Humanities will have no impact on Georgia Humanities Program Grant award decisions.
- Organizations that have an open program grant with Georgia Humanities are ineligible to apply for additional support until the outstanding project has submitted a final report.
