For all Maine people
We work with individuals and organizations across the state of Maine to connect people with books, communities with ideas, and strangers with one another.
Grants
Funding for humanities programs and projects
Our grants support projects with well-developed humanities content, strong participation from a scholar or topic expert, robust support from partners in the community, and plans to reach a broad and diverse public audience.
