Humanities Montana Regular Grants

Applicants seeking funding in excess of $1,000 should apply for regular grants. (For requests of $1,000 or less, applicants should apply for Opportunity Grants.) Annual deadlines are December 20, April 20, and August 20.

We encourage proposals that engage Montanans in meaningful discussion about the human condition, strengthen cooperative relationships among communities and cultural organizations (museums, libraries, schools, tribal organizations, etc.), and enrich civic discourse among the state’s diverse cultures and across its geographical distances.

Humanities Montana only awards regular grants to organizations, not individuals.

All Humanities Montana-funded projects must have:
• A central focus in the humanities
• A clearly defined theme
• Professional humanists involved in planning/executing
• No political advocacy
• A public program
• Publicity and evaluation plans where appropriate
• 1:1 cost-share of in-kind or other funds
• All applications for support of projects that involve Native American communities or cultures must demonstrate involvement of those communities or address why they are not involved.

Humanities Montana grant applications are electronic. We strongly suggest you consult with Humanities Montana staff before applying for any grant. You may address questions to Humanities Montana staff at any time, at 406-243-6022, or via email to info@humanitiesmontana.org.
