WH Awards Major Grants!

WH is proud to award nearly $60,000 in support of projects that honor the human experience and build bridges of understanding in Wisconsin!

Films, performances, and new tools for communicating our stories and understanding each other. These efforts are part of how the humanities work in communities to tackle challenges. We have six grant deadlines every year and encourage you to learn more about the public programs our grants help to fund.

Community Powered trainings are grounded in effective and useful processes for recognizing the unique strengths, stories, and visions at the heart of every community. WH Fellows join a strong statewide network and gain new strategies — a Community Powered toolkit! — that focus on documenting and using history, culture, and storytelling to make communities stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

We are accepting applications for our 2025 Community Powered training!

Today, in honor of all who served our country in wartime and peacetime, we are excited to share some stories from a recent WH-funded grant project. The image above is entitled Murphy’s Dream Vision or “Warrior’s Ring” by Robert P. Buono. It was part of a WH-funded project in Vilas County ...called "Veterans and Families' Expressions" spear-headed by the Headwaters Council for the Performing Arts and @olsonmemoriallibrary

A huge thank you to the many people and organizations in Eagle River and Vilas County who helped this effort blossom and multiply. A special kudos goes to Norma Yaeger, the President of Headwaters Council for the Performing Arts, who responded to a special Grantee Spotlight Q&A. LINK IN BIO

Our next Major Grant deadline is coming up on December 15th. Learn more on our website, wisconsinhumanities.org/grants
