The Open Grant Program is open to proposals rooted in any humanities disciplines in any format. Most open grants fall within the $3-10,000 range; grants over $10,000 are rare. Proposals are submitted online and must address all proposal requirements. Narratives for the Open Grant Program usually range from 4-6 pages. Draft proposals are strongly encouraged.
Discretionary Grants
Postmark Deadline
No deadline. Grants accepted year-round.
The Discretionary Grant Program allows VFH to make grants of up to $3,000 at any time during the year. These grants may be used to plan larger projects, or to carry out programs where only a modest amount of funding is required. Proposals are submitted online and must address all proposal requirements.
For Discretionary Grants, funding decisions are normally made within four weeks following our receipt of the application.
