Delaware Humanities offers three kinds of grants:
Opportunity Grants
Opportunity Grants offer up to $3,000 for smaller projects or planning periods for larger projects. Applications can be submitted year-round, and while matching funds are required, matching can be waived in some circumstances.
Vision Grants
Vision Grants are available from $3,001 – $15,000 for major humanities projects. Matching funds are required. Deadlines for the Fall Cycle for FY21 are as follows: Friday, October 2, 2020 for rough drafts, and Friday, November 13th for final drafts. Rough drafts are REQUIRED for Vision Grants.
Democracy and the Informed Citizen Grants
Democracy and the Informed Citizen grant projects can range from $1,000 – $3,000, require matching funds, and will focus on the essential role that journalism and the humanities play to create an informed citizenry, the foundation of our democracy. These grants are made possible by the Federation of State Humanities Council with a $1.75 million grant from the Mellon Foundation. Deadlines are rolling, but the projects must be completed on or before June 30, 2021. To apply, use the Opportunity Grant application form and indicate that you are applying for a Democracy and the Informed Citizen grant.
