The Human Services Council and seven of its coalition partners have launched an email campaign opposing the “Program to Eliminate the Gap” announced by the Mayor. 

Mayor Adams proposed a 15% budget cut across all City agencies, which will result in harmful cuts to human services. Any "PEGS" on human services programs will have impacts now, as providers may be forced to close programs or reduce services. They will certainly have impacts in the years to come as less services will be available.

If you/your organization wants to add voice to the opposition of 15% across-the-board budget cuts, you can click here to join the effort & send your email using the HSC template.

Grant Opportunities:

ATTENTION Cultural institutions: There is a grant opportunity through the Public Humanities Projects program! This initiative supports projects that bring humanities ideas to life for diverse audiences via engaging public programming. Emphasizing engagement with humanities scholarship, projects explore significant themes in history, literature, ethics, and art history.

Awards are designed to reach broad and diverse public audiences in non-classroom settings across the United States. The program supports projects in three categories—Exhibitions, Historic Places, and Humanities Discussions—offering funding at two levels: Planning and Implementation. Consider integrating complementary components, like a museum exhibition accompanied by a website or mobile app.

Project topics can be international, national, regional, or local in focus. Local projects should connect to broader themes or historical questions of regional or national relevance. If your project doesn't address wider regional or national concerns, explore local funding sources, such as state humanities councils.

Award amounts vary based on the project’s scope and expected audiences, with a special encouragement for small and mid-sized organizations to apply. Tailor your humanities project for specific groups, including families, youth (K-12 students in informal educational settings), underserved communities, and veterans.

Don't miss this opportunity to bring your cultural institution's vision to life and apply today: https://www.neh.gov/grants/public/public-humanities-projects
