North Carolina Humanities has awarded a total of $19,290 in Small Project Grants to four cultural organizations to support their North Carolina-based public humanities projects. Read on for more details.

NC Humanities provides Small Project Grants of up to $5,000 to nonprofit organizations that use the humanities (literature, history, philosophy, etc.) to raise questions, encourage conversation, contextualize experiences, and build bridges across cultural differences.

This is the first round of Small Project Grants awarded by NC Humanities in 2024. The next and final Small Project Grant deadline is September 12. NC Humanities annually offers three types of humanities project grants to libraries, museums, historical societies, and other cultural and educational nonprofit organizations that explore the stories, histories, and cultures of North Carolina through activities such as reading and discussion events, exhibits, films, historical walking tours, and more. Large Project Grant (up to $20,000) Letters of Intent are due April 18 and Project Planning Grants (up to $2,000) are accepted on a rolling basis until September 30.
