Mass Humanities Announces 2025 Funding Opportunities
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — Mass Humanities has announced its 2025 funding opportunities through its Expand Massachusetts Stories (EMS) initiative.
This year, the EMS initiative features:
- Promises of the Revolution: Organizations are invited to explore how people, past and present, responded to the promises of the American Revolution in preparation for the country's 250th anniversary in 2026.
- Story Forward: Organizations that have received funding from Mass Humanities in the past can advance their storytelling to reach new audiences or build on previous work.
Reading Frederick Douglass Together grants are currently open, with applications accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.
Application materials for EMS grants are available on the Mass Humanities website. Letters of Inquiry are due June 9.
Mass Humanities has set aside $600,000 to fund projects in the Promises of the Revolution track.
Mass Humanities launched the EMS initiative in 2021 with the support of Mass Cultural Council and the Barr Foundation.
In 2024, Mass Humanities awarded $1.2 million in EMS grants to 64 cultural nonprofit organizations.
