Description
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation’s Deihl Humanities Grants support public programming through the Lincoln & Dorothy Deihl Arts and Humanities Fund. The fund supports community and public arts or humanities programs intended to cultivate a thriving community. This fourth-quarter opportunity specifically focuses on projects that bring the humanities to life for general audiences, with grants generally awarded for projects located in Manhattan and Riley County, Kansas.
The program takes a broad view of the humanities: learning about, thinking about, describing, and discussing what it means to be human. Its goals include connecting people and generating insights that help communities thrive. Public engagement with these subjects is central to the opportunity, rather than projects requiring ongoing support from the foundation.
