Humanities Montana’s Film + Video grants offer multiyear support or one-time-only funding for major projects in film and video that promote a deeper understanding of Montana history and culture as well as those that examine themes and subjects in the humanities relevant and important to Montana communities.
Film + Video grants support collaboration between media producers and scholars to develop content grounded in humanities scholarship and prepare documentary films or programs made for television that engage public audiences with humanities ideas in creative and appealing ways.
Private nonprofit organizations; accredited institutions of higher education; state, local, and federally recognized Tribal governments and agencies (schools, libraries, museums, etc.); groups of persons that form an association to carry out a project for approved nonprofit purposes.
Humanities Montana only awards Film + Video grants to eligible organizations, not to individuals or production companies instituted for for-profit purposes.
Independent filmmakers and fiscal sponsors must consult with Humanities Montana staff to assess substantive involvement and determine eligibility.
A Unique Entity ID (UEI) and Federal Tax ID (EIN) are required to apply.
