Grant Program Status Update - July 2026
After more than a year without access to the federal funds that support our grant program, we have finally received some funds. Unfortunately, the Alliance received less than half of the funds we were allocated previously. As a result, we are working with organizations that have open grants from FY2024 to provide some of the remaining funds from those grants. If your organization submitted a final report last year but has not received the final payment, we will be getting in touch soon.
Over the course of the next few months, we will be in a position to offer some support to humanities festivals (books, documentary media, and others). We are also aiming to make a small investment this fall in planning grants to help the sector begin to think beyond AM250 and to get new and exciting projects into the pipeline.
We will be making announcements about both opportunities in the coming weeks. If you have any questions about grants that were impacted by the events of the last year and thoughts about future projects, do not hesitate to call - 614-461-7802.
