HNY is pleased to announce the Post-Incarceration Humanities Partnership Grant [humanitiesny.us2.list-manage.com](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://humanitiesny.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cbab662e49213348b8506dfc7&id=fa2cced2d6&e=1ee5ba19ef__;!!GekbXoL5ynDpFgM!BJHhZbGyykl17OJncZnG_8YPtg-Nzd13TaNQp0Vps3wEwstQd5yyZV-AfpSyln3Fzw$) opportunity.
Any NYS-based, nonprofit organization that currently serves: 1) individuals who are going through the process of societal reentry after a period of incarceration; 2) the families of those individuals; or 3) both populations, is eligible. HNY will also consider applications from organizations that work in areas of prison reform. Grants of $10,000 to $20,000 will be awarded for the implementation and/or enhancement of an already-established project. HNY staff will work closely with the organizations awarded to develop new benefits for their partners or clients.
This grant is the first venture into what HNY has included in its Strategic Plan as a multi-part, sustained engagement with issues of incarceration. Additional plans focus on storytelling about the incredible scope and dimension of carceral effects on individuals, families, and communities, including a podcast.
Application Instructions and Timeline
Complete information about the grant as well as the application process can be found here [humanitiesny.us2.list-manage.com](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://humanitiesny.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cbab662e49213348b8506dfc7&id=935f21fc5b&e=1ee5ba19ef__;!!GekbXoL5ynDpFgM!BJHhZbGyykl17OJncZnG_8YPtg-Nzd13TaNQp0Vps3wEwstQd5yyZV-AfpSqgELTow$). The application process has two stages. Applicants are requested to first share a brief project summary (of up to one page) explaining the scope of their work and the ways that HNY’s financial and programmatic support will benefit the project, due by October 22. Next, applicants with a suitable summary will be invited to submit a formal application through HNY’s grants portal, due November 23. Awards will be announced no later than December 17.HNY encourages interested organizations to schedule an appointment with our staff to discuss this new opportunity. Our appointment calendar can be found here [humanitiesny.us2.list-manage.com](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://humanitiesny.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cbab662e49213348b8506dfc7&id=f326625b7b&e=1ee5ba19ef__;!!GekbXoL5ynDpFgM!BJHhZbGyykl17OJncZnG_8YPtg-Nzd13TaNQp0Vps3wEwstQd5yyZV-AfpQeVGxuTw$).

Priorities
A grantmaker for almost 50 years in New York State, HNY is committed to equitable grantmaking and strives to distribute funding around the state. HNY prioritizes support to organizations that serve and are led by members of communities traditionally under-resourced in the humanities and that promote diversity and inclusion in humanities programming. For this opportunity we are particularly interested in partnering with mid-sized organizations that employ formerly incarcerated staff members.Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram @humanitiesny
