Be a Champion for the HUMANITIES

• 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 Museum on Main Street traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America at their local library.

Please take a moment to show that the humanities matter with your one-time or recurring donation.
