The New Hampshire Humanities Council awards two types of grants on a competitive basis to qualified applicants.
To facilitate the process, we encourage interested individuals and organizations to request our participation in developing program
concepts and proposals. For more information, contact Grants Officer Susan Hatem at 224-4071.
If you are a member of a not-for-profit organization, please contact us with your ideas for a
public program in the humanities. The most important condition of project eligibility is that one or more of the disciplines of the
humanities be central to your project. We also require that the project be designed to encourage free inquiry and discussion among
New Hampshire residents. All Council-funded programs should be free and open to the general public.
The following outline describes the grant categories.
