Details:
Florida Humanities’ Community Project Grants awards up to $10,000 to support humanities-based learning experiences. In public humanities programming funded through this grant, Floridians are encouraged to engage in thoughtful reflection, analysis, and consideration of important topics relevant to local communities, and the state writ large.
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. At its core, Community Project 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.
Types of Projects
Community Project Grants support an array of public humanities programming that encourage community engagement in and with the humanities. Programming should be tailored to, and appropriate for, the subject matter, the applicant’s goals, as well as reflective of the interests and needs of the intended audience(s), particularly underserved communities.
Florida Humanities encourages innovation with new approaches as well as use of time-tested formats such as: community conversations, interpretive exhibits (permanent or traveling, physical or digital), lectures and podcasts, community-wide reads, or reading- or film-and-discussion programs, book, film, and cultural festivals incorporating humanities activities, oral history projects, story-collection and sharing programs, interpretive tours or other types of site- or place-based humanities programming.
All Community Project Grants MUST:
- Be rooted in the humanities
- Involve humanities scholar(s) appropriate for the project
- Be made available to the general public and actively foster constructive dialogue
