Details:
All subjects and themes relevant to the communities served are welcome. These grants aim to:
- Connect audiences more deeply to the communities where they live and work.
- Solidify community partnerships and diversify audiences.

These grants aim to actively engage audiences through creative programming formats, including workshops, roundtables, panel discussions, humanities-infused performances, exhibits, podcasts, and interactive digital platform.
Priorities
HNY prioritizes support to projects that reach audiences with fewer opportunities to attend educational and cultural programming. Because they are a statewide organization, within each grant round we strive to make awards in as many regions of the state as possible. All subjects and themes relevant to the communities served are welcome. Other priorities include supporting small organizations (with operating budgets of less than $250,000) and rural organizations.
