HUMANITIES FESTIVAL GRANTS

Please be sure to review our new 2012 guidelines.

Grant Program in Brief - HFGs

NJCH provides awards of up to $500 annually in celebration of National Arts and Humanities Month.  This year’s theme is “The American Presidency.” 

Granted by the American public, the office of President of the United States is widely recognized as one of the most powerful positions in the world.  As we become enmeshed in the 2012 Presidential campaign, understanding what it means to elect a president grows in importance. How have we envisioned the American Presidency? What is the role of the President in our culture, nation and history? This year, NJCH is interested in supporting projects that take a critical look at the historical development, power, and implications of executive authority, especially with an eye towards issues of justice.  In exploring this topic, applicants may draw from any one of a number of humanities disciplines, e.g., literature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, ethics, comparative religion, and cultural and gender studies.

Programs might center on any of the following topics:

• U.S. Constitutional issues
• Political campaigns and elections
• Domestic and foreign policy
• Citizenship and civic engagement
• Freedom and equality

The options listed above do not represent an exhaustive list.  There are many additional possibilities.
