Humanities and the Arts Grants
Deadline: rolling, and April 1 annually

The Pennsylvania Humanities Council inspires individuals to enjoy and share a life of learning. Since 1973, the PHC has empowered local groups to offer high-quality public programs that have a positive impact on the everyday life of their communities.

The Pennsylvania Humanities Council invites nonprofit organizations to apply for Humanities-and-the-Arts Grants, which fund public programs that use the humanities to increase understanding and appreciation of the arts. These grants are offered in partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Mini-Project Grants (awards up to $1,000) are available year-round. April 1 is the deadline for Project Grants (awards up to $5,000).

Humanities-and-the-Arts projects enrich the arts experience by involving participants in discussions with humanities experts and artists through such events as workshops, discussion groups, and lectures.
