Overview

Georgia Humanities supports the efforts of nonprofit organizations seeking to foster connections between people and ideas. Through a competitive process, we award grants to such cultural, civic, and educational entities as museums, libraries, universities, and historical societies for a range of projects, including walking tours, exhibitions, author talks, lecture series, and literary festivals. Proposed grant programs can also be virtual!

Guidelines and Eligibility

Georgia-based nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for grants of up to $2,500 to support humanities programs. Programs must involve at least one humanities scholar, bring the public together for discussion and exchange, and be designed for and open to public audience(s).

Grant Deadlines

Georgia Humanities offers two application cycles each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. Our Fall 2024 grant application cycle closed on October 7, 2024. Our spring grant cycle will open in March 2025. 

SPECIAL NOTICE: If Hurricane Helene has impacted your organization or community and you need additional time to submit your application for the fall cycle, please contact grants coordinator Jerald Crook.

As of September 2021 we are using a new grant management system. All organizations, including those who received Georgia Humanities grants before the implementation of the new system, will need to register to apply in future grant cycles.
