Humanities grants awarded across New York state for public programs

Humanities New York (HNY) has announced $150,000 in awards to 31 grantees for innovative public humanities offerings.  Awards were made in every region of the state.

These grants are made possible through the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal agency funded through legislation by the United States Congress.

Action Grants to community presenters enable New Yorkers to reflect on their values and engage with others in their communities. Grant recipients creatively use history, philosophy, literature, and other tools of the humanities to respond to issues and ideas that capture the imagination and passion of New Yorkers today. Focusing on relevant and timely topics, these grant projects give New Yorkers the opportunity to discuss what matters.
