Grants

Supporting humanities programs that

engage Maine communities

The MHC Grants program distributes funding to Maine nonprofits and communities to support projects that encourage a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another, build lasting connections, and reach diverse, multigenerational, and rural audiences.

Our grants support humanities programs and projects—things like exhibits, films, conferences, initiatives—that have broad public outreach. We are excited to support programs and projects with rich, well-developed humanities content, strong participation from a scholar or topic expert, and robust support from partners in the community. 

Despite funding cuts, our grants program continues to function at full capacity, thanks to unwavering support from the State of Maine. We are excited and honored to be able to support your work in the coming year!
