The Humanities Festival & Gatherings Grant provides resources to nonprofit organizations interested in creating relevant, diverse, and unique public humanities programs for the people of Washington DC through the execution of Festival/Events/Meetings/Conferences.  The funding will support in person, virtual or hybrid projects (as long as they comply with local and Federal guidelines).

The festival/event/meeting/conference must be open to the public and includes some portion of free or discounted programming.

A successful application will identify opportunities to support programming for Washington, DC communities that will advance, celebrate, and encourage dialogue within the humanities disciplines.
