Founded by Congress in 1971, Missouri Humanities is dedicated to helping Missourians explore the people, places, and ideas that shape our society, with a mission geared towards fostering a more thoughtful, informed, and civil society.
The Major Grant program from Missouri Humanities Council (MHC) aims to give Missourians the chance to engage with humanities scholars and experts, understand the significance of open idea exchange in community participation, and broaden their understanding of both their community and the wider world. Funding may be fully or partially provided, with major grants reviewed bi-annually. Applications for grants above $2,501 are due on the first workday of February and August.
