Humanities DC Grants: Due July 31st

Humanities DC has announced two grant opportunities. Proposals are due July 31st.

Soul of the City Grant Applications, for humanities-focused youth programming

Soul of the City provides young people, ages 14 to 19, an opportunity to explore the role of the humanities in asking and answering critical questions about the world. The Soul of the City grant encourages the development and delivery of a high-quality humanities-driven youth engagement program. The award recognizes innovative models that empower and engage young people in programs that build civic engagement, critical thinking and leadership skills. This opportunity is part of the Humanities Grant Program supported with funding from the District of Columbia Government through the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

Humanitini Curators Grants

"Applications for the Humanitini Curators Grant are due this Friday, July 31st. We are looking forward to the broad range of programming the awarded curators will produce for the coming fall. Though many upcoming Humanitini programs will take place virtually, the schedule is sure to be filled with insightful, must-hear conversations led by scholars working in the academy and in Washington, DC's neighborhoods and communities. It is difficult to predict the topics that will be proposed, but it's likely that some prospective curators will apply for programs related to COVID-19 and the city's ongoing protests for racial justice. We believe that documenting the voices of Washingtonians on the front lines of these historic events is a key responsibility for HumanitiesDC and the wider community of public humanities practitioners in the city."
