Nevada Humanities Grants to Nevada Nonprofit Organizations

The mission of Nevada Humanities is to connect and transform communities by sharing and amplifying the stories, ideas, experiences, and traditions of the diverse people of Nevada. 

In support of its mission, Nevada Humanities creates and supports public programs statewide that articulate the Nevada experience and facilitate the exploration of issues that matter to Nevadans and their communities. These programs help perpetuate and disseminate local culture and heritage, improve quality of life, enhance education, and enrich life and thought. In addition, Nevada Humanities contributes to the economic health of Nevada by producing and promoting activities that stimulate heritage tourism and attract new business to the state, aid in fostering a creative and well-informed population, and support Nevada’s nonprofit cultural industry throughout the state. 

Nevada Humanities awards annual matching project grants in three categories: Major Project Grants, Mini-Grants, and Planning Grants. These grants are awarded to Nevada 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, education institutions, and state and local government and tribal entities to support the implementation of public humanities projects throughout Nevada.

 
Due to the sudden and unexpected termination of Nevada Humanities’ federal, statutorily required state humanities council operating support funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Nevada Humanities has been forced to suspend its grantmaking program indefinitely. Learn more about how you can help Nevada Humanities restore this funding.
