In addition to conducting humanities projects for Hawai`i's communities, the HCH gives grants for humanities projects for the general public that are planned and conducted by non-profit groups.
We know that humanities funding is strained in these tight economic times. The HCH is pleased to continue its grants program in full, a program that has provided monies for wonderful humanities programming in Hawai'i for over twenty years.
What you need to know about applying for an HCH grant:
- Individuals may apply for Research and Publication grants. All other grants require a non-profit sponsor, the involvement of principal humanities scholar(s), and a project director/coordinator.
- Our Proposal Review Committee gives great priority to projects that clearly show deep and sustained involvement of humanities scholars in the development and execution of the project.
- Projects must reach and be of interest to the people of Hawai'i.
- You must be able to complete your proposed project within the grant period you apply for.
- Grant periods typically do not exceed one year.
- We recommend that you speak directly with the Director of Grants regarding your project before requesting an application, either by phone or email. Please be ready to describe your project, including how it connects to the humanities and how it will reach Hawai'i's people.
