The Grant Application Process – fully online!
- Determine your organization’s eligibility and type of grant best suited to your project. If you’re curious about the application itself before you create a log-on, it can be downloaded here. Please contact the Grant Officer if you have questions.
- Create a logon here, and follow the steps to fill out your application.
- The Grant Officer reviews the applications for completeness and compliance with the grant guidelines and distributes the applications to the Application Review Committee (ARC). The ARC makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for Vision grants. Opportunity grant decisions are made by the Executive Director, the Chair of ARC, and a Board member living in the grantee’s county.
- Vision Grant awards follow an established timeline, with final notification coming after the Board meetings in June and January. Opportunity Grant notifications typically require 30 days for submission, review by ARC, followed by the notification of the applicant.
**UPDATE: Due to Covid-19’s impact, we are extending our Spring Vision Grant deadline to allow applicants more time to get assistance with their applications. Therefore, the Vision Grant Rough Drafts will be due Wednesday, October 2, 2019 by 11:59 p.m. The Final Drafts for that Fall Cycle FY20 will be due Thursday, November 14, 2019 by 11:59 p.m.

Black Lives Matter in Delaware
June 10, 2020The killing of George Floyd has brought attention once again to systemic racial inequalities in America, and a lot has already been said. Rather than reiterate what so many in the Black community have been saying for generations, Delaware Humanities would instead like to place a spotlight on those voices in our state.
There is never a better time to listen to those most affected by the ongoing atrocity of racism and injustice. The humanities help us to understand what it means to be human. With such a wide array of human experiences across cultures and communities, the only way to truly understand is to engage in the learning process both actively and reflectively….
