Donor Name: Illinois Humanities
State: Illinois
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/15/2023
Size of the Grant: up to $4,000
Details:
Action Grants are project grants of up to $4,000 to nonprofit organizations located in Illinois or doing work impacting Illinois audiences. 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. Their 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, story telling, 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’ longterm viability?
