Annual Community Humanities Grant Opportunity in Maryland (USA)
GrantID: 58795
Grant Funding Amount Low: $5,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This grant opportunity offers annual funding designed to strengthen community-based organizations that promote learning, culture, and connection. It is intended for nonprofit groups located within one U.S. state in the Mid-Atlantic region and supports those involved in programs related to the humanities—such as history, literature, philosophy, and cultural education. The funding aims to help smaller organizations sustain their daily operations, expand outreach, and make their programs more accessible to local audiences.
The grants are geared toward organizations that already have an established presence in their communities but may not have large fundraising capacity. The program focuses on helping these groups maintain stability, plan for growth, and reach underrepresented or underserved populations. Organizations that serve rural residents, veterans, people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, and individuals with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations in good standing and located within the state where the grant is offered. The funds are not available to businesses or individuals. To qualify, organizations should have a moderate or small annual budget and conduct the majority of their programming within the humanities field.
Each year, several grants are awarded, typically providing recipients with around $5,000 in general operating support. These funds can be used for essential needs such as staffing, program development, outreach, and other operating expenses that advance the mission of connecting people through shared learning and cultural experiences.
This grant program is an ongoing opportunity that repeats annually, ensuring continued investment in organizations that bring meaningful educational and cultural experiences to their communities. It offers a valuable source of consistent support for groups working to preserve and promote the stories, history, and ideas that shape the lives of residents across the state.
Organizations and individuals based in Maryland who are engaged in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
