The Great Michigan Read Grants

MHC Grants Program:
Michigan People, Michigan Places. Our Stories, Our Lives.

The Michigan Humanities Council grants emphasize collaboration among cultural, educational, and community-based organizations and institutions to serve Michigan's people with public humanities programming. These grants play a vital role in defining our culture, our state, our community, and ourselves. Organizations are encouraged to explore and retrace our: histories, roles in societies, advancements and changes, meaning in self-expression and fulfillment, commonalities and differences—what shapes us individually as well as communally.

Limit one grant award per organization.
