Indiana Humanities' Innovation Grants provide tax-exempt organizations with funds to develop and implement humanities programs that introduce new ideas, utilize unique approaches and/or reach underserved audiences. The goal is to support projects that that apply fresh and inventive components or methods to help people learn new information, consider different perspectives, share ideas and understand one another better. Programs should be creative and stretch boundaries—and they must be open to the public and utilize the humanities as a tool for engagement.

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