The grants are generally available for nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, local and state governments, and occasionally collaborative partnerships where smaller organizations take a lead role. Some opportunities are specifically geared toward smaller organizations with limited budgets, allowing them to implement innovative programs that foster public understanding and dialogue.



Grant amounts vary depending on the program, with funding ranging from around $2,500 to $10,000. The funds are intended to support public programs that encourage learning, reflection, and thoughtful community engagement. Projects can include educational initiatives, discussion programs, exhibitions, or other activities that connect participants with meaningful cultural and historical content. The focus is on programs that provide perspective, context, and opportunities for communities to engage in conversations about important social and cultural topics.
