Mini and Major Program Grants
Update on Grantmaking
We are deeply sorry to share that Humanities Texas's statewide grantmaking is currently suspended, effective April 2, 2025, due to recent funding cuts mandated by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), our longtime federal partner. We are actively seeking other funding sources and will provide updates when possible. Read our FAQ related to recent NEH changes for more information. In the meantime, our grants team is available for consultation.
If your organization requires funding for upcoming programming, we strongly encourage you to submit a mini-grant or Rural Grant letter of intent form via our grants portal. This will allow our staff to coordinate with you and support your work, and to contact you directly when we resume grantmaking.
