The Illinois Humanities is seeking applications from nonprofit organizations for its 2023 Vision Grants.
Donor Name: Illinois Humanities
State: Illinois
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/17/2023
Size of the Grant: $2,000
Details:
Vision Grants are $2,000 grants to Illinois nonprofit organizations to carry out planning and evaluation projects related to their work in the humanities, as well as to conduct DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) workshops and trainings. These grants are intended for smaller organizations and applicants must have an annual budget of $1 million or less.
Working with consultants to conduct research, provide training, and help develop evaluation tools is entirely acceptable. Projects can include convening scholars, bringing together or surveying audience members, traveling around the state to research an initiative, and other activities that will help groups conduct planning.
Vision grants can be used for groups to go through workshops and trainings meant to help them become more effective as anti-racist organizations, as well as more intentional in holistically addressing gender, class, sexuality, disability/ability and other issues.
Through this grant, Illinois Humanities hopes to learn more along with their grantees about the following questions:
- What is the role of planning in delivering high-quality humanities programming?
- What does this planning actually look like?
- Does effective planning help smaller humanities groups increase their sustainability?
- How can humanities, arts, and cultural organizations become more effective as anti-racist and intentionally more equitable actors in their communities?
