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.
We are asking Vermont non-profits to join us for a special month of programming this fall, centered around the theme of "Our Woven History."
We are offering grants of up to $2500 for innovative programs that recognize the hidden history contained in our Vermont Reads 2026 book, Charity and Sylvia by Tillie Walden, while also commemorating the complex 250th anniversary of our nation's founding.
While we prefer that projects take place in October, we will consider funding projects that occur between September 15 and November 15 of 2026.
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.
