GRANTS
The Humanities Council welcomes project
proposals that support free, public programs addressing fundamental
questions about who we are and how we live in the world we share.
The Humanities Council's programs emphasize critical thinking
skills essential for all citizens to be able to participate in
our democracy. North Carolinians of every walk of life, hue, and
creed engage in these activities by examining what we value, how
we relate to each other, how we cope with change, and how we express
ourselves. In particular, the Humanities Council encourages programs
that explore North Carolina's rich diversity by examining the
culture and traditions of specific groups as well as programs
that foster cross-cultural understanding.
