*** California Humanities is embarking on a new strategic framework with a shift in priorities that maintain grantmaking as a core function with new programmatic approaches and funding objectives to ensure our sustainability amidst a changing environment and converging factors that foretell an unpredictable future. As part of this future, we have made organizational changes to ensure our long-term viability. Throughout 2025, we will be adjusting our grantmaking and programs to align with the new strategic direction. However, the first round of Humanities for All Project Grants 2025 will continue under the previous framework. We expect the Humanities for All Project Grants to be aligned with a new strategic direction for the second round of grants in late spring/early summer. Please continue to check back on our website for further updates.
We remain committed to our grantmaking and support of locally-initiated public humanities projects.
Humanities for All Project Grants support the development and delivery of humanities-based learning experiences for the people of California that encourage thoughtful reflection, analysis, and consideration of important topics, in keeping with our mission to connect Californians to ideas and one another to understand our shared heritage and diverse cultures, inspire civic participation, and shape our future.
Project Grants are awarded twice a year to large scale public humanities projects of up to two-years duration from the award date. Appropriate programming formats include but are not limited to virtual and in-person interpretive exhibits, community dialogue and discussion series, workshops and participatory activities, presentations and lectures, conversations and forums, and interactive and experiential activities. Eligibility is limited to California-based nonprofit organizations and non-federal public agencies. Note: Awards must be matched with an equivalent amount of cash or in-kind resources over the life of the project.
