Indiana Humanities offers Action Grants to Indiana nonprofits, providing them with funds to develop and implement responsive and meaningful humanities programming. The goal is to support projects that help people learn new information, consider different perspectives, share ideas and understand one another better. Programs may come in a variety of formats—workshops, presentations, reading/discussion programs, exhibitions, podcasts, film documentaries and more—as long as they're open to the public and utilize the humanities as a tool for engagement.

Funding for Indiana Humanities' Action Grants is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal agency.
