Dear Potential Grantee of the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities,

Welcome! We are delighted that you are taking the time to get to know us better. The Council is proud of our long history supporting a wide range of public humanities projects. Documentary films that have gone on to premiere at Sundance Film Festival, win Emmys, and gain national broadcast on PBS. Research projects that have examined everything from wartime gardening in Rhode Island to how racial integration affected the state’s black baseball leagues.  Public history projects that have preserved stories from WWII soldiers at life’s end, hurricane survivors, apple growers, and appreciators of Warwick’s Salter Grove park to name only a few. We look forward to adding your inspiration to our list! With that in mind, please follow the steps below to learn more about our grant opportunities.
