Nevada Humanities supports projects that broaden perspectives and intellectual curiosity. Grants may be used to preserve Nevada's history and heritage, and to foster activities to bring people from different backgrounds together to discuss issues that concern their communities. Topics and issues can range from America's role in the world to neighborhood concerns, and from matters of family and relationships to national or state public policy issues.

Activities may include public forums; dialogues that cross the boundaries of religion, ethnicity, occupations, neighborhoods; discussions of books, films, performances or exhibited art work; the creation of performances or art works to generate discussion; and media programs that bring a humanities perspective and diverse points of view to a broader audience. Activities must be planned with and moderated by academic or community scholars. Creative projects are encouraged, and may be modest or community-wide in scope.

Potential grant applicants may contact staff for help in preparing proposals. Information, Steve Davis, (775) 784-6587, (800) 382-5023, or by e-mail, srdavis@unr.edu
