Humanities New York (HNY) is honored to provide HNY CARES Emergency Relief Grants to humanities organizations facing financial hardship as a result of the pandemic. Funding for this grant is provided by the CARES Act and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Emergency Relief Grants up to $20,000 are available to nonprofit cultural organizations that are based in and serve New York State. The maximum award amount will be determined by an organization’s total operating expenses as documented in its most recent 990.
HNY is committed to equitable grantmaking and takes into consideration each applicant's geographic location and ability to reach diverse communities. Support will be prioritized to organizations with a core humanities mission.

HNY se compromete a otorgar subvenciones equitativamente, por lo cual tiene en cuenta la ubicación geográfica de cada solicitante al igual que su capacidad demostrada de servir a comunidades diversas.
