Nonprofit organizations throughout Oregon who help to create informed, engaged communities around the state have two opportunities for funding. Oregon Humanities (formerly Oregon Council for the Humanities) invites requests for Public Program Grants between $1,000 and $10,000 and Responsive Program Grants for up to $1,000.

To download the guidelines, find out more about how to apply, and view sample grants, please visit oregonhumanities.org.

2011 Public Program Grants between $1,000 and $10,000 support humanities-based public programs beginning after April 1, 2011. The Letter of Interest postmark deadline is October 30, 2010.

2011 Responsive Program Grants up to $1,000 support humanities-based public programs developed in response to pressing, current issues or events. Programs must begin after November 1, 2010. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis.

Oregon Humanities Grants support public programs designed to explore the humanities in participatory and dynamic ways. We encourage applications from a broad range of nonprofit organizations in Oregon, including those that may not define their work as being based in the humanities. We especially welcome inquiries for projects that will attract diverse audiences, engage minds, and stimulate meaningful community dialogue. For more information, please contact Oregon Humanities Director of Programs Jennifer Allen at (503) 241-0543, ext. 118, or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
