Details:
Ohio Humanities offers grants for organizations and projects that provide humanities programming to public audiences across the state. The “humanities” include the study of history, literature, languages, philosophy, archaeology, ethics, jurisprudence, comparative religion, and world cultures. The humanities also encompass art history, theory, and criticism—but not the creation, display or performance of art—and aspects of the social sciences that use historical or philosophical approaches.
Funding Information
- Up to $20,000
Eligible Organizations
The first step in applying for support is making sure your organization is eligible to receive Ohio Humanities grant funding. To be eligible, you must apply on behalf of a nonprofit organization located in the state of Ohio—such as a public library, museum, historical society, or community organization.
- To make sure that your organization is eligible for Ohio Humanities funding:
- Ohio Humanities may request proof of non-profit status at its discretion. Proper evidence includes 501(c)(3) letter, IRS 990 form, or a copy of the Agent Notification Form for Unincorporated Nonprofit Associations from Ohio’s Secretary of State.
- Organizations must have a DUNS number.
- All applicants will be required to have a Unique Entity ID (UEI) through the sam.gov website. The UEI is replacing the DUNS number beginning April 4, 2022.
- All grant applicants are required to certify that they are not presently debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participating in federally funded programs.
- All grant applicants are required to certify that they are not currently delinquent in the payment of a federal debt.
- All grant applicants are required to certify that they are in compliance with the Department of Labor’s Fair Labor Standards and all of the following federal nondiscrimination statutes: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.
- Due to changes in federal regulations, Ohio Humanities will not accept applications from fiscal agent sponsors. The sponsoring organization for an Ohio Humanities grant must be making a substantive contribution to the project. Providing bookkeeping and related services does not constitute a substantive contribution.
- Organizations may only have one open grant with Ohio Humanities at any time. Organizations should complete all necessary requirements for previous grants before applying to Ohio Humanities for another grant. There are two possible exceptions which include:
- Large organizations with many semi-autonomous departments or multiple sites may receive a waiver for this limitation (i.e. universities, public library systems, park systems).
- For repeat or annual programs, Ohio Humanities reserves the right to shift requests for continuing support to an alternate grantline that requires a higher level of cash cost-share from the sponsoring organization.
