Florida Humanities GrantsGrants Director Position Now Open |  | The Florida Humanities Council offers grants to groups like ours, supporting engaging humanities-based learning experiences, providing speakers and programs of interest to our members and friends in the community.
|
Beginning in 2022, Florida Humanities’ Community Project Grants will double, awarding up to $10,000 to support humanities-based learning experiences. This funding opportunity aims to increase public participation in — and access to — the humanities by providing relevant, engaging, and meaningful humanities-based programming to all.
|
The Miami Pioneers and Natives of Dade historical society is looking for a point person among our members to take the lead on learning more about these grants and programs. Do you have a few hours each month to volunteer some time to engage with the Florida Humanities Council on our behalf as our grants director?
|
| Please let us know if you're willing to step up and help out with this worthy project. Call Robert Burr at 305-439-1376 or send an email to: rob@mpnod.org |
