Georgia Humanities has awarded $51,584.31 in grants to 21 Georgia educational and cultural organizations through its Fall 2025 grant cycle, selected from 45 applications requesting $93,012.31.

Nearly 45% of this cycle’s grant recipients are first-time Georgia Humanities grantees, reflecting the organization’s commitment to expanding access to public humanities funding and strengthening local capacity across the state.

Funded projects are based in ten communities spanning ten congressional districts and will generate programming available to audiences in all 159 Georgia counties, underscoring Georgia Humanities’ role as a statewide partner in civic and cultural life.

Several awards also support projects aligned with Georgia Humanities’ America250 initiative, a special themed option offered within this grant cycle. These projects explore the ideals and legacies of the American Revolution—its aspirations and contradictions, its struggles and consequences, and the questions it continues to raise as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.

“These grants demonstrate how the humanities help communities explore who we have been, who we are, and who we hope to become,” said Dr. Mary McCartin Wearn, President of Georgia Humanities. “We are proud to support projects that are rooted in place, responsive to local voices, and meaningful to Georgians across the state, especially as we look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary.”

Georgia Humanities anticipates launching a Spring 2026 grant cycle. Additional details will be announced on the organization’s website.
