Partnership Grants

To better fulfill our mission of bringing public humanities programs to the people of Florida, the Florida Humanities Council offers a Partnership Grant program designed for organizations in Florida that conduct an annual series of humanities programs. These $3000 grants will be awarded to organizations that:

Have demonstrated a commitment to and track record for developing public humanities programs
Conduct an annual series of public humanities programs
Hold free programs, open to the public, that serve a broad community interest
Agree to credit FHC on all organizational and promotional materials
Provide sponsor cost share (cash or in-kind) equal to the requested amount

The FHC sees these grants as a way of establishing mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with organizations that share our goal of fostering public humanities programs in Florida. Organizations that apply for these grants may be eligible to receive these grants for three consecutive years.
During the period of the Partnership Grant, participating organizations will not be eligible to apply for either Mini or Major grants from FHC.
