Summary
Several annual grant opportunities are available to support and strengthen rural communities across Texas. These funding options are designed to expand access to cultural programming, education, and community development resources, with a strong emphasis on serving smaller counties and rural regions. The grants primarily support nonprofit organizations and certain local governmental entities. Individuals and for-profit businesses are generally not eligible.
One opportunity focuses on public programming grounded in the humanities. Funding is intended to support community discussions, lectures, exhibitions, cultural festivals, heritage programs, film screenings, and educational workshops that engage scholars and encourage meaningful public dialogue. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, museums, libraries, historical societies, school districts, community colleges, and city governments located in rural Texas counties with smaller populations. This program is offered annually and typically accepts proposals on a rolling basis, allowing flexibility for organizations planning local events and initiatives.
Another grant opportunity supports larger-scale humanities projects designed to reach broader audiences across the state, including rural communities. Supported activities may include documentary and digital media projects, teacher institutes, panel discussions, exhibitions, and other educational forums that promote deeper understanding of history, literature, culture, and civic life. Nonprofit organizations and state or local governmental entities throughout Texas are eligible to apply under this annual program.
In addition, there are rural community development grants that support nonprofit organizations working to improve quality of life in small towns and rural areas outside major metropolitan regions. Funding is intended for projects that advance economic development, environmental improvement, education, civic engagement, and overall community vitality. Applicants must demonstrate organizational stability and a clear plan for community impact.
Together, these grant opportunities aim to invest in rural leadership, strengthen local institutions, and promote long-term resilience across rural Texas communities.
