SAMPLE Illinois Speaks Micro-Grant Proposal Form



Welcome! This is the proposal form for applying to Illinois Humanities to host an Illinois Speaks public dialogue or series of public dialogues. (There is a different form if you are applying for a Vision, Action or Multiplier Grant.) We’ve tried to make this as simple an application process as possible; we want you to be out there facilitating public discussions as soon as possible!


The purpose of Illinois Speaks micro-grants is to allow more people of all ages throughout the state of Illinois to host public discussions about issues that matter in their communities.
People who are excited about trying this out but are new to Illinois Speaks are encouraged to apply for a single event. Those who have already been awarded Illinois Speaks grants or are experienced in moderating or facilitating public dialogue can apply for multiple events.
All applicants must discuss this application with a Host Organization, and agree on program elements and how grant money will be spent before submitting.
Remember that all Illinois Speaks award winners must go through an Illinois Humanities facilitator training before their event, including a segment on evaluation. After the event, two forms should be completed: an online evaluation on a mobile device for audience members and a follow-up report by the host organization point person.
Our Suggested topics for 2016 are “Water and the Public Good,” “The Future of Public Education,” and “The Aftermath of Ferguson, Mo.” You are welcome to pitch variations of these topics or other topics altogether if you like. Good luck!
This SAMPLE form is for your convenience only – a place for you to create, edit, and save your proposal before submitting it online by copying and pasting the information into the appropriate fields of the online form. This form will NOT be accepted as a submission.
If you have any questions or problems with the application process, please reach out to Mark Hallett at mark.hallett@ilhumanities.org for assistance or visit ilhumanities.org/grants.
