Vermont Humanities

Grants

Group on tour in snowy Burlington

To better support public humanities work across Vermont, we have exponentially grown the amount of money we distribute to Vermont non-profits and other organizations through our grants programs.

In 2022, we funded 41 Project Grants totaling over $175,000. We also funded 20 Rapid Response Grants totaling nearly $20,000. These figures are more than triple the funds we distributed through these programs in 2020.

We encourage 501(c)(3) public charities, government entities, schools, and/or institutions of higher education to apply for a Vermont Humanities grant.

Other groups may apply through a non-profit organization that agrees to act as a fiscal agent and to accept responsibility for meeting the terms of the grant award.

Attendees at Abenaki Teacher Training session, 2017

These exhibits, teacher trainings, and panel discussions are powerful ways of engaging with the Vermont community. We have been pretty much overlooked in Vermont’s history, so these events have brought us a lot of self-esteem and pride.
