Five Things to Know About Illinois Humanities’ Community Grants

Applications for Vision and Action grants now open

Last year, Illinois Humanities awarded over 300 grants to dynamic cultural organizations throughout Illinois. We deeply value our relationship with these grantee partners and strive to make our grants, applications processes, and capacity building resources accessible and impactful. Based on grantee input, we are constantly improving our offerings to support the work they do to keep the public humanities vital and active in their communities.

We’re excited to share some recent updates we’ve made to our grants programming based on partner feedback as well as some reminders about our Community Grants program.

Here are five things to know about our Community Grants program…

We hope you’ll find an opportunity to support your work through our Community Grants program, and join our community of grantee partners who are building a strong network of humanities and cultural workers throughout Illinois. We are very fortunate to work in partnership with individuals and organizations doing this vital work across the state and we look forward to more collaboration!

As always, reach out with questions.
