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.
