Idaho Humanities Council invites grant applications

The Idaho Humanities Council is inviting organizations and individuals to apply for its spring round of mini, major and Teacher Incentive Grants.

The deadline for grant proposals is Jan. 15.

Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to review the guidelines and contact IHC staff in advance of the deadline to discuss their project ideas before beginning a proposal.

Teacher Incentive Grants are limited to $1,000, and are awarded to K-12 teachers to enhance their teaching of the humanities in the classroom.

Mini grants are less than $2,000, and major grants exceed that amount. Over the years, these grants have supported museum and library exhibits, oral history projects, heritage tourism projects, special lectures, the preservation of historical photo archives, Chautauqua programs, community-wide reading programs, humanities-focused conferences and a variety of projects and programs which inspire community dialogue in the humanities.

Grant guidelines and the online application are available on the IHC website: www.idahohumanities.org under "Grants." The website also includes a listing of recent grant awards and other general information. Information: 1-888-345-5346.
