Humanities Project Grants (North Carolina Humanities) is sponsored by North Carolina Humanities. North Carolina Humanities offers grants for public humanities projects that encourage conversation, contextualize experiences, and connect people across differences in their local communities.
The council particularly encourages projects that explore North Carolina's rich diversity by examining the culture, traditions, and history of specific groups or fostering cross-cultural understanding. This could include documentary photography exhibitions focused on the Latino community, provided there's a significant humanistic examination of their social, historical, or aesthetic context.
Grant information and applications for 2025 will be announced later this year.
