The Rhode Island Council for the Humanities funds nonprofit organizations and individual researchers to stimulate research in the humanities, spark community exchange, build humanities audiences, innovate new humanities methods, and advocate for the humanities' importance for a vibrant, engaged democratic public.
The Major Grants Program by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities supports public projects, documentary films, and civic education initiatives led by nonprofit organizations and schools. It aims to enrich state life through community conversations, talks, lectures, new media, museum interpretations, workshops, book or film discussions, oral histories, panel discussions, and radio shows focusing on civic engagement, education, and cultural equity. Projects should make the humanities accessible to a broad, diverse audience for free, allowing for varied perspectives. Involvement of humanities scholars is required to ensure the accurate representation of humanities disciplines. These scholars can be academic or public humanists fulfilling roles such as consultants, researchers, lecturers, or evaluators.
