Winter 2020/2021 brings a new Vision for Grants:
- We are implementing our Strategic Plan (more to follow), so we’re embarking on a Listening Tour to learn about how we can best serve Delawareans through the grants we award and the programming we do
- During this time, our Spring Vision Grants – normally solicited in early April, will be paused.
- We will continue to process and award Opportunity Grants throughout 2021 to qualified Delaware nonprofit organizations.
- Our supporters can best stay informed by visiting our website, signing up for our newsletter, or following us on Facebook and Instagram as our grant-making evolves to meet your unique needs as Delawareans.
- If you have specific questions about DE Humanities grant-making, please contact Erin, our Grants Officer via email at: info@dehumanities.org or by phone at: 302-657-0650 ext. 114.
- We’re enthusiastic about the future of our re-grants – thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time!
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: (Paused for Spring 2021)
Vision Grants are available biannually from $3,001 – $15,000 for major humanities projects. Matching funds are required.
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.
