Humanities Grants: Review Process


The Wyck Food Festival and Symposium explores the link between historic foodways and the present-day interest in sustainable living, local eating and urban agriculture. Supported in part by a Humanities Grant.

The PHC funding process is a highly competitive one; more proposals are received than PHC can support. Proposals are evaluated against the guidelines and submitted materials must clearly and effectively state the applicant's case.

Quick and Small Grants

Quick and Small Grant applications are reviewed on a rolling basis by PHC staff. PHC will respond to Quick Grant applicants within 4-5 weeks and to Small Grant applicants within 7-9 weeks of receipt of the application.

Large Grants

Large Grant applications are reviewed annually by a rotating advisory peer panel that makes funding recommendations to PHC's board. All funding decisions are made and ratified by the board. As part of the evaluation process, Large Grant applications are scored on the review criteria, see below. Award amounts reflect the scoring of the applications and also the funds that PHC has available for funding.

Responsiveness to the Community 40 points
Project Content 40 points
Project Management 20 points

Applications that do not meet the Humanities Grant program guidelines will not be reviewed.
