General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

With the General Operating Support Grant, Alabama Humanities Alliance serves the state with subawards and public programs that enrich lives and make connections to our past and the present. The operational funding supports humanities education and engagement throughout Alabama, and in particular in rural areas and under-served areas. Our initiatives advance the public's knowledge and understanding of the humanities and promote lifelong learning and civic engagement. Our regrants create access to resources and support for thinkers, creators, and organizations advancing Alabama's storytelling and scholarship in the humanities disciplines. (Our organization was previously known as the Alabama Humanities Foundation and effected a name change in 2021. The previous name may still appear on some materials and in the dropdown menu of the Supplementary Cover Sheet in this application package.)
