The Maine Humanities Council is a statewide, private, nonprofit, organization whose mission is to engage the people of Maine with the power and pleasure of ideas. The Council's programs, and the projects which it supports through grants of $500-$10,000, are intended to encourage a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, foster wisdom in an age of information, and provide context in a time of change.
The Maine Humanities Council is particularly interested in supporting projects that stimulate meaningful community dialogue, attract diverse audiences, are participatory and engaging, and invite discovery of the humanities in interesting and exciting ways. Grants are awarded to not-for-profit organizations that serve a Maine audience.
SPECIAL GRANT OPPORTUNITIES:
Over the next several years (2008-2010), we are offering Humanities Infrastructure Grants, to support long-term improvements at museums and humanities programming facilities.
HOW TO APPLY:
The Council awards grants to support Maine-based public humanities
projects, and invites inquiries and proposals from any nonprofit
organization or group. We strive toward straightforward applications
and frequent deadlines. Please review the links at the left side
of the page, then call or send us an e-mail before you start to
write.
Maine Humanities Council staff is available to answer your questions
or assist you in developing your proposal. Please feel free to contact
us by telephone (toll free, 1-866-ME-READER), or email Victoria Bonebakker: vbonebak@mainehumanities.org
