Using the humanities, we connect with people across Vermont to create just, vibrant, and resilient communities and to inspire a lifelong love of learning.
To better support public humanities work across Vermont, we have exponentially grown the amount of money we distribute to Vermont non-profits and other organizations through our grants programs.
Our Rapid Response Grants are quick turn-around small grants for humanities-focused community projects. We award Rapid Response Grants of up to $1,000.
For the 24th year of Vermont Reads, our one-book statewide reading program, we invite Vermont communities to plan projects centered on Charity and Sylvia and its themes of Vermont’s (and America’s!) early history, the importance of friendships and family networks, the role of religion and faith in communal life, and the evolution of LGBTQ+ identity.
