Mississippi Humanities Council Documentary Film Grants

The Mississippi Humanities Council offers documentary film grants to support productions that strengthen the humanities content and approach. These grants are open to a wide range of nonprofit organizations and groups, including educational institutions, public agencies, and cultural organizations. Projects should engage audiences through Mississippi's history and culture, inspire reflection, and involve a humanities expert in their development. A 1:1 cost-share match is required, with specific cash match requirements based on the grant amount. Applications are accepted annually on December 15, with funding decisions announced in February. Grants can request up to $15,000. Grant renewed every year
