ARP RECOVER and RENEW Grants for 2021-2022 

Through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Delaware Humanities has funds available for redistribution to humanities-based organizations and Delaware organizations seeking support for humanities programming facing financial hardship due to COVID-19. Please see our ARPA specific guidelines and FAQ for details.

***UPDATED : Our Grants Officer made a webinar/ppt recording about RECOVER and RENEW Grants.
