This grant is for supporting projects in the humanities that explore stories, ideas, and beliefs through media, aiming to deepen understanding and foster learning among all ages. Offered by the Division of Public Programs, this initiative encourages dialogue and civic engagement by presenting humanities ideas creatively across multiple formats. Two categories are available: Development Grants and Production Grants. Development grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars, refining humanities content, preparing scripts, or creating digital media prototypes with outreach plans. Production grants support the final preparation of programs for distribution, requiring a strong script or prototype demonstrating humanities scholarship, scholar consultation, and a complete media team. The goal is to excite, inform, and stir thoughtful reflection on culture, identity, and history.
