Financial support for innovative research and humanistic projects.
Being Human Festival
The American edition of Being Human, introduced in 2024, represents part of the international expansion of the Being Human effort, which launched in the United Kingdom in 2014. The festival’s community-focused events are organized and presented by local artists, scholars, and educators across the nation.
Successful proposals receive grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 from the National Humanities Center to help defray costs for their events, which must be grounded in research methods but designed to engage the general public.
