The non-profit Georgia Humanities is distributing small grants to communities across Georgia for events, exhibits and more to mark the 250th birthday of the United States in 2026.
The funding is going to groups as varied as the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries in Columbus for a series of events exploring American identity through food, the University of West Georgia in Carrollton for a program on how Muscogee people maintain ties with their ancestral homelands in Georgia and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for pre-performance talks putting the music in historical and cultural context.
Georgia Humanities is also supporting a speaker series and a traveling Smithsonian exhibit that will stop in smaller towns and at the Georgia National Fair.
