Planning Grant
Planning Grant is designed to support the planning of humanities programs and for the development of scripts for film or video documentary projects.
Planning grants are of two types. One type of planning grant is an award of up to $2,000 to help a nonprofit group without ready contact with the humanities to plan and develop a public humanities program, culminating in the submittal of a regular grant proposal to the HCH. Another type of planning grant is an award of up to $2,500 to help a nonprofit group develop and write a competitive, humanities-centered script that would accompany a regular grant proposal involving a film or video production format.
No public program required. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations or public institutions serving Hawai‘i audiences. Planning Grant applications may be submitted at any of the three application deadlines per year.
Deadline(s): February 15; June 15; September 15
Amount: up to $2,000 (for planning of a public humanities program)
