Award Amounts and Funding Period
Eligible organizations with annual operating budgets of up to $2 million may request up to $25,000 in general operating support. Requests may not exceed 10% of an organization’s 2019 pre-pandemic total operating budget. Florida Humanities reserves the right to award full or partial funding based on the total amount of funds available. Please only apply for what your organization can justify as funding is limited.
Approved applicants will receive a 9-month contract (November 1, 2021 – July 31, 2022) to expend their grant funding. Eligible pre-award costs dating back to March 15, 2021 may also be included in your request.
Funding Priorities
Florida Humanities’ “American Rescue Plan” grants are for short-term general operating support only.
Florida Humanities will prioritize full funding for eligible organizations that also meet one or more of the following criteria:
Eligibility
Florida Humanities’ American Rescue Plan grants are intended to reach a diverse network of small to large-sized organizations located in both urban and rural communities and which serve diverse constituents statewide.
Applications will only be accepted from organizations such as museums, archives, historical societies, and cultural centers whose primary mission is humanities-focused or can demonstrate a substantial track record of regularly occurring public humanities work. While organizations that received a 2020 Florida Humanities CARES grant for emergency operating support are also eligible to apply, they are not guaranteed renewed funding.
State and local government agencies as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments that meet this humanities-focused criteria are eligible to apply. Universities, colleges, and academic departments are ineligible to apply with the exception of public-facing humanities centers, museums, libraries, archives, and university presses associated with a college or university. Such organizations are eligible to apply and will be asked to provide the annual budget for their own operations.
