COLUMBUS – Ohio Humanities has rolled out the Public Humanities Recovery Grant Program, a special one-time funding opportunity to provide support to public humanities organizations across the state seeking to serve public audiences in 2021.
Eligible projects include public humanities events, digital projects, efforts to provide social distancing measures at cultural sites, and more.
“The cultural sector continues to be challenged by the economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis,” said Ohio Humanities Executive Director Pat Williamsen. “Ohio Humanities is dedicated to helping mitigate the effects of the pandemic on public humanities organizations by continuing to support our partners as they bring humanities programming to Ohioans.”
The application deadline for the Public Humanities Recovery Grant program aligns with Ohio Humanities’ regular quarterly grant cycle for summer 2021. Applications are due on June 7 (with drafts due by May 10) for projects with start dates after Aug. 15.
