Be a Champion for the HUMANITIES
The humanities are a powerful tool to guide and shape who we are and where we’re going.

The humanities are a powerful tool to guide and shape who we are and where we’re going.
Every dollar donated has an impact.
Here are just a few of the programs and grants we are proud to make happen:
- The wonder of a diverse group of people gathered to hear Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha speak movingly about her commitment to Flint’s people and the power of communities in her Great Michigan Read book, “What the Eyes Don’t See.”
- The importance of more than $535,000 in grant awards to Michigan communities.
- The joy of young participants at Poetry Out Loud, gaining leadership and confidence while reciting and interpreting the collective works of many great poets.
- The excitement in a rural community, where the whole town comes out, marching band and all, to see the next Museum on Main Street traveling exhibit Voices and Votes: Democracy in America in 2021 at a local library.
Please take a moment to show that the humanities matter with your one-time or recurring donation.
