2012 Grant Cycle
Working in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Guam Humanities Council provides financial support to nonprofit organizations and institutions for humanities programs aimed at public audiences. Any nonprofit group or organization operating in Guam is eligible to apply for a grant. An organization need not be incorporated or tax-exempt.
The humanities include but are not limited to the study of history, modern and classical language, literature, law, philosophy, comparative religion, ethics, and the history, criticism and theory of the arts, anthropology, archeology and political science are also considered part of the humanities. The humanities also include interdisciplinary areas, such as women and gender studies, American studies, ethnic studies, and the study of folklore and folk life. Humanities projects may also apply humanities perspectives to current political, social or economic concerns and issues.
The Guam Humanities Council offers three grant formats: mini grants, regular grants, and media projects. Funded projects take many different forms. Eligible formats for programs may include, but are not limited to: public forums—lectures, seminars, conferences, workshops, film or book discussion series, and panel discussions; the development and fabrication of interpretive exhibits, permanent and traveling fairs, festivals and tours; media productions—newspaper articles, radio and television programming, film and videotape. The Council encourages innovative program formats, particularly programs that stimulate discussion between diverse groups.
A free grant-writing workshop is also offered at the Council office. The workshop is a requirement for first time applicants. All organizations are strongly encouraged to contact the Guam Humanities Council prior to applying for a grant.
