Funding Opportunities

Due to funding a robust slate of proposals in addition to the center’s own programming, we are unable to fund any more proposals for the remainder of this semester. If you know you will need sponsorship from the center in the fall, we encourage you to get your proposal in the queue now.

The center is glad to provide a variety of programs and funding opportunities for the coming year. Each is designed to support your work and our community in ways that make sense for the realities of our lives. Please see the descriptions below.

Co-Sponsorship Funding

We are prioritizing high-touch, small scale events that will provide maximum effect for our students, such as class visits and targeted workshops, though we will consider other requests as well based on the center's co-sponsorship guidelines for the year. Where possible, please consider inviting non-tenured and and non-tenure track faculty for virtual visits in light of ongoing labor insecurity in our profession.

Explore co-sponsorship funding.

Humanities Exploration Fund

Any member of the Grinnell College community may use small grants from the Humanities Exploration Fund to purchase books or any other materials that can help you and your conversation partners draw on the arts and humanities to explore some part of the world around you. We encourage you to include a meal or two at or from a local restaurant as part of your proposal. Nothing like food to further conversation!

Apply for Humanities Exploration Fund grants.

Student Arts and Humanities Fund

Students may use small grants from the Arts and Humanities Fund to support academic research or a project on which you've been working in your own time.
