Description
The Humanities for All Quick Grants program funds small, locally-initiated public humanities projects across California. Designed to encourage broad participation and foster understanding, these grants support a wide range of community-based activities—such as dialogues, workshops, speaker series, and reading or film discussion groups—that are grounded in humanities disciplines and are accessible to the general public. The program especially encourages projects serving new or underserved audiences and aims to reduce barriers to participation. Projects must be participatory, feature active facilitation or discussion, and occur within a 12-month grant period.
