	NHC Competitive Grants Any non-profit group is eligible to apply for a grant from the NHC. The council encourages cooperative projects that help ensure broad community interest. Applications must demonstrate that the humanities are central to the project. All projects must include humanities resource people. Usually, the humanist is a college or university professor in a humanities discipline. When non-academic humanists are chosen for projects, the applicants must provide sufficient background information to show that they will capably represent the humanities.   Although projects are usually aimed at the adult public, any age group may be served. Projects need a creative publicity plan to encourage public participation. All projects must also include a means of evaluation by audience participants or an outside reviewer. At least half of the total project costs must be provided by the applicant in local cost-share, either cash or in-kind.
	Major Grants Major are $1,500 or more, and there are two major grant cycles a year. Applications must be postmarked by March 1 or Aug. 1. Notification is normally given within two months. It is recommended that the sponsoring group discuss the project with NHC staff before submission.
