About
Grants program: The humanities help us talk about and understand the ideas that define us as individuals and connect us as communities. They teach New Yorkers how, not what, to think. New York Council for the Humanities (doing business as Humanities New York) grants help communities use the humanities to articulate their ideas about what it means to be human. Humanities New York grants develop project teams with humanities expertise, and support projects that use the tools of the humanities to engage general public audiences. Humanities New York offers three competitive grant programs. Vision grants ($500 to $1,500) help groups develop plans for public humanities programs and initiatives that are built in partnership with community members. Action grants ($500 to $5,000) help organizations launch public humanities programs that are dynamic, responsive and thought-provoking. Beginning in FY18, quick grants ($500) are available to organizations with operating budgets of less than $250,000 for the implementation of an in-person public humanities program. During FY18, Humanities New York awarded 120 grants totaling $434,003. Total cost for this program was $743,758.
