INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING FOR FUNDING
Welcome! We are delighted that you are taking the time to get to know us better. The Council is proud of our long history supporting a wide range of public humanities projects. Documentary films that have gone on to premiere at Sundance Film Festival, win Emmys, and gain national broadcast on PBS. Research projects that have examined everything from wartime gardening in Rhode Island to how racial integration affected the state’s black baseball leagues. Public history projects that have preserved stories from WWII soldiers at life’s end, hurricane survivors, apple growers, and appreciators of Warwick’s Salter Grove park to name only a few. We look forward to adding your inspiration to our list! With that in mind, please follow the steps below to learn more about our grant opportunities.
RICH uses a 3-step application process:
STEP ONE: Candidates interested in requesting a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities should thoroughly read our Grants Opportunities and Grant Guidelines documents. Candidates interested in requesting funds specifically for the Humanities Grants for Civic Education should navigate to the opportunities and guidelines specific to that initiative.
STEP TWO: Eligible applicants should contact grants staff to discuss your project, its eligibility, and the Council’s current funding priorities.
STEP THREE: Register to submit an online application here. Please note that major grant applicants need to submit an online Intent to Apply by September 1st.
