Description
Virginia Humanities offers Community Action Grants to bring clearly defined public humanities activities into festivals, public events, and community gatherings. The grant supports the humanities activity within a larger event, creating opportunities for local dialogue, storytelling, shared learning, and participation.
This small-dollar program is intended to strengthen humanities engagement in places where communities already gather. It also offers an entry point for first-time applicants and emerging organizations developing focused public humanities work.
