Organizations seeking MHC Minigrants are required to provide a Unique Entity ID (UEI). Obtaining a UEI is FREE; any website or organization demanding payment to obtain a UEI is a scam. Use the guide linked below to ensure you are on the correct government website.
Note that organizations are NOT required to register for SAM. View this guide for assistance in obtaining your UEI. A UEI is not required for Mississippi Stories grants.
Because the National Endowment for the Humanities has decided to release less than 50% of the funds Congress appropriated for state humanities councils for 2026, amounting to an over $550,000 cut for Mississippi alone, MHC has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel our Regular Grants.
Due to this drastic decrease in federal funding, we are currently only able to offer: Minigrants (up to $2,500) State-Funded Mississippi Stories Grants (up to $5,000) MHC Grant Guidelines ( PDF | Word )
