General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

With the General Operating Support Grant, Mass Humanities brings the humanities to life through subawards and/or public programming in Massachusetts. The council tailors its subaward-making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of Massachusetts. In doing so, it delivers on its mission to create opportunities for the people of Massachusetts to transform their lives and build a more equitable commonwealth through the humanities.
