Grant Overview

Eligibility Criteria for Virgin Islands Humanities Councils

Only the Virgin Islands Humanities Council or its designated fiscal agents may apply for the $300,000–$3,000,000 humanities grants. The council must maintain 501(c)(3) status and submit a current IRS determination letter with the application. Projects must occur within the territory’s three main islands and document participation targets for St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix residents.

Application requirements include a detailed archival access plan showing how digital tools will reduce physical travel barriers between islands. Proposals must list specific repositories on each island and provide letters of commitment from those institutions. Budgets require separate columns for inter-island ferry costs and equipment shipping.

Realities of application review include a 45-day technical review period that checks compliance with local procurement rules. Failure to include required cost documentation for digital preservation hardware results in administrative rejection before merit scoring.

Fit assessment favors projects that align oral-history collection with existing territorial archive digitization standards. Councils must demonstrate that proposed digital formats meet Library of Congress preservation specifications already adopted by the Virgin Islands territorial archivist.

The Virgin Islands context differs from neighboring Puerto Rico because applicants must address three separate island jurisdictions rather than a single landmass, requiring explicit coordination across territorial agency boundaries.
