Description
The New England Humanities Consortium (NEHC) offers competitive Community Collaborative Grants for humanities initiatives linking researchers and practitioners at member institutions with community partners across New England. The program seeks reciprocal, equitable partnerships that exchange ideas and build long-lasting ties and mutual support. Scholars and community partners must jointly shape project goals, methods, and outcomes, with shared decision-making, clearly defined roles, and equitable recognition of contributions from the earliest design stages.
Funding interests include public humanities programming, social justice humanities projects, collaborative research, digital humanities, shared speaker series, collaborative course design, exhibitions, and public performance series. These examples are not exhaustive. Projects should advance both humanities work and sustained institutional-community relationships. The Colby Center for the Arts and Humanities serves as NEHC’s administrative hub.
