In recognition that the Coronavirus pandemic has had a serious impact on the public humanities field across the state, the South Dakota Humanities Council in 2021 directed funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, through the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), to meet the emergency needs of organizations and to help sustain and strengthen the humanities in South Dakota.

We are no longer accepting applications for the American Rescue Plan grant program. If you have any questions about this program, please contact our ARP grant coordinator at sdhcarp@sdhumanities.org.
