A little bit of something about everything related to grant writing.

HUMANITIES WASHINGTON
Any time. Quick Grants.
Project planning: Quick Grants may be used to pay for the services of a humanities consultant, technical consultants such as exhibit designers, travel expenses, and other incidental costs involved in the preparation of a project plan. These grants are intended for groups that would otherwise have little access to humanities or technical advisors, have limited staff size, or lack experience in project development. Quick Grants may not be used for grant-writing services.
Program implementation: Organizations in communities with limited access to humanities programming that have an opportunity to conduct a humanities program that requires a small amount of funding and does not fit within the Project Grant application timeline may apply for a Quick Grant to implement a program.
