Humanities DC

Congratulations to our Cycle I Grantees! 🎉 This cycle, we are proud to support 41 projects through three grant categories: Community Culture & Heritage, DC Oral History Collaborative - Oral History Interviewing, and Visions - Projects + Events.

Through these Community Grants, we will support efforts such as: the production of documentaries and digital storytelling by local creators; the preservation of neighborhood traditions and Washingtonians' memories through oral histories; the exploration of identity and civic advocacy through youth-centered projects; the appreciation of artistic expressions including music and dance, and the celebration of the District’s unique cultural heritage through literature and community festivals.

We also want to show our appreciation for the expertise and dedication of our 83 volunteer grant reviewers–a record number for a single cycle. On average, our reviewers donated 20 hours of their time to the peer-review process.

We look forward to checking back in on our grantees and sharing their work and the ways you can get involved or learn more. Stay tuned to learn more!
