General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

With the General Operating Support Grant, PA Humanities brings the humanities to life through subawards and/or public programming in Pennsylvania. The council tailors its subaward-making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of Pennsylvania. In doing so, it delivers on its mission: Our work is grounded in people. We connect Pennsylvanians to each other through stories, ideas, and experiences that can change lives and transform communities
