To apply for an HNY grant, register through the Grantee Portal link above, where you can also resume an application, view your awards, or submit final reports. For assistance, you can view our How to Register tutorial, make an appointment with our grants team using the calendar on this page, or email us.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted at least two months before your event takes place. Please note: Organizations may receive One Quick OR one Action Grant per calendar year, not both.
Humanities New York will make every effort to work with grantees who have had to postpone HNY-funded programs. We have the flexibility to approve significant project extensions. We understand, too, that in some cases a canceled program cannot be rescheduled—we will work directly with grantees in such cases.
Please notify us of any project delays or cancellations by emailing [email protected]. We will adjust the grant period end date and final report due dates accordingly. These changes will be documented as an “Amendment Report” that you can view in the Fluxx grant portal.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We are here to help.
Community Conversations bring people together for short, thoughtful discussions on themes central to American life—such as immigration, the environment, or democracy. A facilitator, chosen by your group, leads a conversation for 8-20 participants using the training and materials supplied by Humanities NY.
