Oklahoma Humanities offers grants for the creation, development, or implementation of humanities-based exhibits designed to enhance the cultural landscape of Oklahoma. These grants support three types of exhibits: permanent exhibits that will be on view for at least three years, temporary exhibits that will be open to the public for a minimum of three months, and traveling exhibits that will be available to public audiences in at least two venues within Oklahoma. The funding is intended to support projects where the exhibit itself serves as the primary medium for delivering humanities content.

The purpose of these grants is to provide financial resources for exhibits that engage public audiences in the humanities. The program is designed to encourage institutions and organizations to develop educational and cultural exhibitions that reflect and promote humanities-based learning experiences. Eligible projects must be accessible to the general public or serve a defined audience, contributing to the enrichment of cultural and educational opportunities within the state.

Nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, accredited public and nonprofit higher education institutions, state and local government agencies, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments are eligible to apply. The funding is available only to U.S. entities operating within Oklahoma. Applicants must ensure that their proposed exhibits align with the humanities focus and meet all specified funding guidelines.

The maximum funding available for each grant is $10,000. While there is no explicit mention of matching fund requirements, applicants should thoroughly review the guidelines provided during the application process for any potential financial obligations. The grant is currently marked as temporarily unavailable, meaning applications are not being accepted at this time.

Interested applicants must apply through the Oklahoma Humanities online grants portal. The application process includes creating an account and following the detailed funding guidelines available within the portal. While the timeline for submission and review is not explicitly stated, applicants should monitor the Oklahoma Humanities website for updates regarding the availability of funds and deadlines.
