The Council supports public humanities programs that contribute to the achievement of its mission. By promoting humanities programming for all Vermonters, the Council works to achieve its vision of a Vermont in which everyone reads, participates in public affairs, and continues to learn throughout life. The humanities include history, literature, philosophy, the social sciences, comparative religion, jurisprudence, classical and modern languages, linguistics, ethics, and the history, theory and criticism of the arts. Our program staff is available to answer questions and help you develop a successful application.

 

Due to increased interest in our Grants program, the VHC Board of Directors has voted to fund projects up to a total of $5,000. In the past, applications seeking up to $15,000 were accepted during the fall grant round, however it was felt that the Grant program could better serve Vermonters by funding more, rather than larger, projects.
