Description
The Mini Grant program from Humanities Nebraska provides funding for smaller-scale or pilot humanities projects led by nonprofit organizations and government entities across Nebraska. The grant is designed to encourage public engagement with the humanities, fostering thoughtful interaction and discussion around topics that explore what it means to be human. Funded projects must have a central humanities focus, involve at least one qualified humanities subject expert, and primarily serve Nebraskan audiences. The program prioritizes initiatives that reach underserved communities, build innovative or cross-disciplinary connections, and support inclusive, hands-on, or experiential programming. Projects addressing the experiences of diverse and underrepresented groups are especially encouraged.
