Program Mini-Grants provide support for small-scale projects with limited scope and costs that offer an access point for organizations seeking to expand into public humanities programming. Programs should engage local audiences with Louisiana scholars to explore the history, foodways, folkways, music, and culture that make Louisiana’s towns, parishes, and state so unique. LOI’s from first-time applicants that are new to hosting public programs are particularly encouraged, as well as organizations reaching rural and underserved populations. All viable programs must include the participation of qualified humanities scholar(s) and programs must be free and open to the public. Humanities-based organizations operating within the sixty-four parishes of Louisiana are eligible to apply. Organizations must be nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status; public-facing organizations operating within accredited institutions of higher learning; state and local government agencies; or state or federally recognized Native American tribal governments in Louisiana. Organizations reaching underserved populations are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications: Letters of Intent will be accepted on a rolling, quarterly basis until funds are expended from November – July with awards in January, April, and July Award Amounts: Up to $1,000
