Description
The Alabama Humanities Alliance offers funding to support public humanities projects that engage communities across Alabama. These grants are designed to foster dialogue, storytelling, education, and reflection on history, literature, civics, culture, and related fields. In 2026, special emphasis is placed on projects exploring the nation’s founding history and principles as part of the "America at 250" initiative, though other humanities-focused proposals are also considered. Projects must demonstrate active public participation, strong humanities content, and direct involvement of humanities scholars.
