Due to the federal government shutdown, Humanities New York is operating on a contingency budget. Given the uncertainty presented, current grantees and applicants should be advised that funding for projects awarded will be delayed. We understand that this may be a barrier to some applicants and will provide updates via our newsletter.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted at least two months before your planning process begins or your event takes place.
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.
