Funded primarily by the State of Maine, the MHC Grants Program assists Maine’s nonprofit organizations in developing public 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.
