California Humanities Quick Grants

California Humanities Quick Grants (between $1,000 and $5,000) are awarded three times a year to small-scale public humanities programs and projects which take place within one year from the award date.

Any California-based nonprofit organization or non-federal public agency is eligible to apply. Note: A cash or in-kind match of the award is NOT required.

Grant guidelines, application instructions, and a list of previously awarded projects please visit the Humanities for All Quick Grants page.

Projects should be grounded in the humanities, show potential to provide high-quality humanities learning experiences for participants and audiences, and demonstrate a capacity for successful implementation.

Appropriate formats include but are not limited to community dialogues, reading- or film-and-discussion groups, oral history or nonfiction writing or story-sharing workshops, and other types of activities.
