What These Grants Do Not Fund:

Indirect costs. Grant funds may be applied only to direct costs of the project. Overhead or facilities and administrative costs may be included in the project only as part of cost-sharing, using the applicant’s normal institutional rate.

Commercial enterprises. The applicant organization must be a not-for-profit organization, although tax-exempt status is not required.

Salaries and fringe benefits. We cannot support salaries or fringe benefits for permanent or temporary employees. Organization staff may be paid honoraria for project work under certain circumstances (see FAQ for more information).

Individual or personal research, unless the research is integral to a proposed project’s public program.

The writing or publication of books. However, a publication generated as the result of a public program is allowable.

Curriculum design or review.

Academic courses, scholarships, fellowships.

Endowments.

International travel. Travel expenses are not allowable if incurred outside of the U.S., its territories and possessions, or Canada.

Recreation and food. Costs related to amusement, social activities, and entertainment will not be funded.

Capital projects (“bricks and mortar”). We do not support the purchase or restoration of capital equipment, land, buildings, museum or library acquisitions, or the like.

Performances in the creative and performing arts, unless they contribute to or provide humanities perspectives. Living history re-enactments, for example, are eligible (see FAQ for other examples).

Political activities. HI cannot consider funding any project advocating, lobbying for, or funding any particular political or social party, ideology, or action.

Fundraising activities. HI cannot fund telephone solicitation, fundraising events, or professional fundraiser fees.

Programs not open to the public. Reasonable admission may be charged to help cover direct project costs. University and college applicants must clearly demonstrate an attempt to reach the general public through content, format and promotional plans

Programs primarily for children or student audiences. Intergenerational programs (for students and parents, for example), may be considered for funding, however.

Projects by applicant organizations with active Humanities Iowa grants. This includes grants with complete project activities but incomplete/unsubmitted final fiscal and evaluative reports.

Pre-award expenses. We do not support project costs incurred before the grant is awarded.
