Overview
The Major Grants program provides funding to nonprofit organizations for projects that engage the public with rich humanities content. Projects must demonstrate strong community involvement and include participation from scholars or experts. The program prioritizes initiatives serving under-resourced communities, such as rural residents, people of color, and immigrants.

Grants ranging from $2,001 to $7,500 support humanities-focused programs like panel discussions, exhibitions, and community initiatives. Proposals are evaluated on their content strength, design, and community impact.
Eligibility
Applicants must be based in the USA, but projects must directly serve audiences in Maine. Eligible organizations include nonprofits, schools, government entities, and churches. Individuals can apply only if they have a fiscal sponsor.
