Description
Virginia Humanities at WHRO offers regional grants for public humanities projects in Hampton Roads. Launched in July 2024, the partnership between Virginia Humanities and WHRO Public Media aims to amplify stories from across the region and show how the humanities can bring communities together, foster dialogue, and deepen understanding.
The program supports work such as community history and oral history projects, public discussions, exhibits, festivals, interpretive performances, media programs, publications, and project planning. It also supports research that leads to programs with a direct public audience.
