Quick Grants (between $1,000 and $5,000) are awarded three times a year to small-scale public humanities programs and projects which take place within one year from the award date. Projects should be grounded in the humanities, show potential to provide high-quality humanities learning experiences for participants and audiences and demonstrate a capacity for successful implementation. Appropriate formats include but are not limited to community dialogues, reading (or film) and discussion groups, oral history or nonfiction writing or story-sharing workshops, and other types of activities. See a list of our Quick Grant awardees, including our most recent cohort here
