Indiana Humanities' Collaboration Grants provide tax-exempt organizations with funds to partner with other community groups to deliver in-depth public humanities programming built around a core idea or theme. Partnerships may be among organizations within a community, within a region or even across the state. Formats and approaches may vary—anything from a weeklong festival to a series of public workshops spread over several months—as long as the programming involves humanities topics/humanistic approaches, engages wide audiences and has a meaningful impact on the communities in which it take place.

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