Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/16/2024
Size of the Grant: $4,000
Details:
Action Grants are $4,000 to nonprofit organizations located in Illinois or doing work impacting Illinois audiences. Action Grants are meant to provide support to groups that want to try out innovative approaches to public humanities programming. Applicants must be nonprofit organizations and can include churches, libraries, colleges or universities, and others.
Action Grants cover projects or initiatives that explore the digital humanities, apply new techniques in audience engagement, and build new and diverse audiences. The hope is that these grants will help spark more risk-taking and experimental and engaging public humanities work on the part of Illinois nonprofits. Project budgets can cover project expenses as well as engagement activities. Projects must utilize the humanities. Media projects such as oral history, filmmaking, journalism, storytelling, and other disciplines are all a part of this field.
Through this grants area, they hope to learn more about the following questions along with grantees:
- What are models for building creative interactivity and growing audiences?
- Can creative programming help to grow audiences?
- How can this experimentation bolster organizations’ long-term viability?
