Summary
Each year, a funding opportunity becomes available to support meaningful educational and artistic initiatives aimed at fostering understanding, reflection, and dialogue. This opportunity is designed to assist projects that draw from historical lessons to address current social and ethical issues, encourage cross-cultural conversations, and promote inclusion and respect in diverse communities.
The funding supports a wide range of efforts such as classroom programs, community-based discussions, creative arts projects, and curriculum development. Applicants are encouraged to explore themes related to social justice, tolerance, and historical memory in ways that connect with students, educators, and the broader public.
Grants are available to nonprofit organizations, schools, and educators, with individual applicants required to work through an affiliated institution. Small businesses are not eligible. Funding is typically prioritized for projects taking place in Missouri and surrounding Midwestern states, although proposals from other regions may be considered based on alignment with the funder’s mission and goals.
Grants are awarded on an annual basis, and applicants can request up to $5,000 per project. The funds are intended to cover specific project needs such as educational materials, guest speakers, event coordination, research, or program development. However, general operating costs or facility upgrades are not supported.
This opportunity provides more than just financial assistance—it also helps amplify voices working to combat discrimination and division while encouraging communities to engage with history in ways that are both relevant and transformative. By supporting projects that inspire deeper understanding and social responsibility, the grant plays a small but meaningful role in shaping a more inclusive and informed future.
