Humanities Grants

Grants Make Humanities Happen 

Vermont Humanities Council's grants help bring dynamic and relevant humanities programs to communities throughout Vermont--exhibits on the Northern Forest, literary festivals, educational opportunities for teachers, student history projects, documentaries, and more (see links to past awards at right). Grants are awarded to nonprofits for projects related to the humanities.

By promoting humanities programming for all Vermonters, VHC works to achieve its vision of a Vermont in which everyone reads, participates in public affairs, and continues to learn throughout life.

All projects must involve at least one humanities discipline. (The Council will reject any project that does not involve at least one humanities discipline.) Our program staff is available to answer questions and help you develop a successful application.

Applications for amounts up to $5,000 are considered twice a year, spring and fall.
