Grant Opportunities from RICH, NEH
By admin | April 29, 2020
The RI Council for the Humanities (RICH) recently announced two grant opportunities supported by supplemental funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the federal CARES Act. The two new grant programs will support humanities organizations affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Rhode Island. The goal of the new general operating support grant program is to ensure that humanities organizations can continue to provide opportunities for our state’s diverse communities to access and engage with public history, cultural heritage, and civic learning during this unprecedented time and in the future. Grants will support nonprofit general operating expenses; matching funds are not required.
In addition to general operating support grants to nonprofits, RICH will provide grants that support nonprofit humanities organizations in the production of publicly-accessible projects that document and interpret the experience of the pandemic in Rhode Island, create or extend humanities-learning practices that have been amplified or emerged in response to the pandemic, or encourage audiences to explore topics relevant to social, cultural, and civic life in Rhode Island.
Libraries may apply for these grants, and should apply as soon as possible, as this pool of funds is likely to be expended very quickly. The first deadlines are May 1 and May 15. To learn more about these RICH grant opportunities, visit RICH COVID-19 Relief Funding.
In addition, the National Endowment for the Humanities has launched the NEH CARES: Cultural Organizations grant program. Search for Grant Opportunity 20200511-AH-GA-HC-RJ-PB on the Grants.gov website. The closing date for this grant opportunity is May 11, 2020.
