The MHC Grants Program assists Maine’s nonprofit organizations in developing community projects that incorporate one or more humanities disciplines. We are particularly interested in supporting projects that:

• Stimulate meaningful community dialogue,
• Attract diverse public audiences,
• Are participatory and engaging,
• Invite discovery of the humanities in interesting and exciting ways,
• Incorporate the guidance of humanities professionals,
• Are free, and
• Are collaborative.

Projects in rural areas and those that reach intergenerational audiences are also of particular interest.
