New Hampshire Humanities Community Project Grants provide grant funds to support public humanities programs across New Hampshire. The public humanities bring the insights and knowledge of humanities disciplines – history, literature, philosophy, ethics, archeology, anthropology, linguistics, geography, the law or legal theory, classics, and cultural or religious studies – to bear on public life. Public humanities programs offer people the opportunity to interpret, question, and debate new ideas while learning about the world in which we live. Through such programs, the public humanities strengthen civic discourse and foster an informed citizenry, and, therefore, fundamentally support both the local communities and national democracy.
