Now Open! Nevada Humanities CARES: Emergency Relief Grants to Nevada Cultural Organizations
By Staff of Nevada Humanities
Nevada Humanities announces Nevada Humanities CARES: Emergency Relief Grants for Nevada Cultural Organizations that will provide rapid-response, short-term operating support for Nevada nonprofit humanities and cultural organizations facing financial hardship and duress resulting from the COVID-19 health emergency. This Nevada Humanities CARES grant program is intended to support general operating costs during these unprecedented times, not specific programs or projects.
Nevada Humanities CARES emergency relief grants seek to provide relief to humanities organizations that have experienced loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such loss could include loss of revenue, inability to deliver programming, loss of staff, difficulty in paying rent/mortgage or operating costs, or risk of closure. Eligible applicant organizations must have an organizational mission that is humanities focused and/or demonstrate a commitment to public humanities programming and offer public humanities programs that are accessible to all Nevadans and open to the public.
