General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

With a General Operating Support Grant, Humanities Texas brings the humanities to life through subawards and public programming in Texas. The council tailors its subaward-making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of the state. In doing so, it delivers on its mission to promote the humanities across Texas through programs that improve classroom teaching, support libraries and museums, and create opportunities for lifelong learning.
