About Mississippi Humanities Council
Mississippi Humanities Council, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Jackson, Mississippi, is a federal grant recipient that operates as a state humanities council delivering public humanities programming and educational initiatives across Mississippi under five-year Project Grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (CFDA 45.129, Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program).
Mississippi Humanities Council has received 18 federal grants exclusively from the National Endowment for the Humanities since 2007, totaling $16.3 million in combined obligated dollars. The council acts as a prime grant recipient on all awards (100% of its federal footprint); it does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles. Recent grants include a $653,369 Project Grant awarded June 1, 2026, running through April 30, 2031, which provides general operating support for statewide public humanities programs; a September 1, 2023 National History Day Supplements award supporting two teacher training workshops in Natchez and Senatobia and educational programming at the Youthful Offenders Unit at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl, Mississippi; a September 1, 2023 United We Stand Supplement award (completed October 31, 2024) focused on cross-cultural understanding, civic engagement, and public education on the history of domestic extremism; and an October 1, 2023 Humanities Recovery award supporting replacement of outdoor signage related to Rolling Fork's history damaged by the March 2023 tornado.
Under the Federal/State Partnership grant structure, Mississippi Humanities Council distributes funds through subawards to local organizations and conducts council-led projects exploring and promoting the humanities throughout the state, including public lectures, exhibits, educator training workshops, student contests, and cultural programming focused on Mississippi's history, literature, and civic life. The council partners with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and local schools and organizations to execute these programs. Grant recipients are required to expend funds during the first three years of the performance period and maintain fiscal documentation for three years following final expenditure. Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award in 2019, one in 2021, one in 2022, three in 2023, and one in 2026 — with only one award (the current $653,369 grant) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
