Emergency Relief Grants for Cultural Organizations

With the passage of the  Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act , the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) received $75 million to distribute to cultural institutions affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

As the statewide affiliate for the NEH, Florida Humanities is distributing $850,000 in emergency grants through “Florida Humanities CARES” to cultural and heritage institutions across Florida affected by the coronavirus crisis. Florida Humanities CARES provides vital funding to support general operating expenses for vulnerable cultural organizations and communities, so that they can continue to provide opportunities for our state’s diverse communities.
