Description
Florida Humanities’ Public Humanities Program Grants support projects that preserve, promote, and share history, literature, cultures, and personal stories to deepen Floridians’ understanding of themselves, their communities, and their state. Programs bring people together to reflect on both history and heritage and contemporary cultural and civic life.
Funding supports in-person, digital, and virtual programming grounded in humanities scholarship and subject-area expertise. Examples include lectures, panel discussions, reading groups, exhibitions with public programs, oral histories, digital archives, film discussions, podcasts, living history, historic-site interpretation, and scholar-led walking tours. Projects must include interactive components for a defined public audience. Collaboration among community partners is encouraged, with funding priorities emphasizing underserved audiences, accessibility, and free public programming.
