COMMUNITY GRANTS

Overview

Humanities Guåhan is pleased to announce the opening of the 2022 Community Grant Cycle!


Working in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities, we provide financial support to nonprofit organizations, institutions and ad-hoc groups for humanities programs aimed at public audiences. Applicants may apply for up to $10,000 in matching funds for humanities programming. Applications will be due by October 1, 2022 and will only be accepted online through Submittable. The application goes live on September 4 at humanitiesguahan.submittable.com.

 

 


Any nonprofit organization or ad-hoc group operating in Guam is eligible to apply for a grant. An applicant need not be incorporated or tax-exempt, but must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) assigned by and viewable within the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) by October 1, 2022. The federal government has replaced the DUNS number with the UEI as of April 4, 2022. If you already have a DUNS number, a UEI has been issued to you.
