General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

With the General Operating Support Grant, Humanities New York brings the humanities to life through subawards and/or public programming in New York State. Humanities New York tailors its subaward-making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of New York. In doing so, it delivers on its mission to strengthen civil society and the bonds of community, using the humanities to foster engaged inquiry and dialogue around social and cultural concerns. To realize its mission, Humanities New York has identified three broad goals with attendant objectives to guide its work over the next three years. Goal One: To expand the outreach and programming impact of HNY so that all New Yorkers may access the tools and experiences of the humanities. Goal Two: Reach vulnerable communities and other new audiences and to create programming to serve those communities. Goal Three: Expand outreach efforts that build the capacity of communities and organizations.
