Partnership Grants for Community Organizations

FHC is currently offering two-year Partnership grants to non-profit community organizations who are interested in designing and conducting annual series of humanities programs.  Organizations must be willing to host a minimum of two to four programs annually that clearly relate to a well-defined central theme.  Theme may change from year one to year two.  All programs must also be free and open to the public and serve a broad community audience. 

In addition to costs related to presenting the program series, grant funds may be expended on the development of complimentary resources that extend the reach of the project.  The resources must relate to the program series theme and may include, but are not limited to:

  • audio and/or video recording of scholar presentations for public broadcast or posting on a website
  • suggested reading lists (print or on-line)
  • classroom resources such as lesson plans

Special consideration will be given to proposals that address FHC’s new Florida 2013 Initiative which commemorates the Quincentenniary of Ponce de Leon’s 1513 landing on Florida’s east coast. Over the next three years, FHC will be working with a number of community and statewide partners to design and develop resources and public programs that provide Floridians with a deeper understanding of both the historical context and the cultural significance of Florida’s 500 year relationship with Spain.  Partnership grant applicants are encouraged to search FHC’s Scholar directory (www.flahum.org/scholar) for potential presenters on this topic, as well as consult with local cultural and educational institutions for programming ideas.

Who is eligible to apply?
Any Florida non-profit 501(c)3 organization that currently does not have an open FHC grant, is eligible to apply. Recipients of Partnership grants will not be eligible to apply for any additional FHC funds during grant award period.
