OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Humanities (OH) is accepting applications from Oklahoma organizations wishing to apply for funding up to $10,000. Grant applications are reviewed by the OH Board of Trustees in late September, and applicants are notified of funding decisions by October 1.

Oklahoma Humanities’ grants encourage cultural programming on the local level across the state. Eligible projects must support OH’s mission to strengthen communities by helping Oklahomans learn about the human experience, understand new perspectives, and participate knowledgeably in civic life.

OH grants can fund a variety of humanitiesbased projects, including exhibits, panel discussions, preservation of historic collections, festivals, and more.

“Oklahoma Humanities funds eligible projects that bridge academic disciplines like history, literature, and philosophy to the general public,” said Caroline Lowery, Executive Director. “Grant applicants from communities all over the state can receive funding for projects with diverse, thoughtprovoking ideas about the human story. OH is proud to award over $200,000 in funding per year, catalyzing capacity building and providing cultural opportunities statewide.”

Applications close August 1. Applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, accredited public and 501(c)(3) institution of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal government, or a state or local government agency.
