March 17, 2025

Tell us a story.

Humanities Washington began 50 years ago as a purely grant-making organization. Since then, we have grown into so much more.

We are excited to announce that Washington Stories Fund grants are now available. In honor of our 50th anniversary, we will award up to 25 grants totaling $100,000 across the state! Amounts range from $2,500 to $7,500, with up to five grants awarded per state region (Central, Central Puget Sound, Eastern, Northwestern, Southwestern).

We seek to fund projects that highlight unique or little-known stories of people who have made significant contributions to Washington State’s cultural richness. Any nonprofit organization, public agency, or group is eligible to apply. While groups do not need to be incorporated or have tax-exempt status, they must be organized for nonprofit purposes. Individuals are not eligible.

The deadline to apply is May 31.
