Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations may apply for a grant if:
- You have a current 501(c)3 or equivalent tax-exempt status. Fiscal sponsorship is accepted.
- You are in “good standing” with the Council, i.e., you do not have an overdue grant report or a previously defaulted grant.
- You do not currently have an open grant with the Council. If you are a current grantee, they encourage you to reapply after you have satisfactorily closed your open grant.
- Individuals may apply for a mini grant if:
- You are planning to do research in the humanities. If you are not doing research, you must find the appropriate fiscal sponsorship of your project and apply for a public project grant.
- You have formulated a solid plan for how you intend to make your research findings public (e.g., lecture, panel discussion, website, radio/ television broadcast, podcast, published essay, or book). They encourage you to secure letters of interest from hosting venues or partners.
- Your research is not part of a degree-related pursuit or faculty research project.
- You do not currently have an open grant with the Council. If you are a current grantee, they encourage you to reapply after you have satisfactorily closed your open grant.
- Organizations and individuals based outside Rhode Island are eligible to apply, but should be prepared to articulate the impact their project will have in Rhode Island. The Council prioritizes funding for projects with a clear Rhode Island connection.
