Michigan Humanities is more committed than ever to connecting people to better serve all of humanity, and we stand together against oppression. Through listening, advancing understanding and equity, and truly learning from history, we are committed to real, systemic change. In the weeks and months ahead, we will continue seeking out and sharing resources that can help us strengthen the ways we listen, understand, advance equity, and learn from history. We have been paying close attention to the intentional, thoughtful work of our partners across the state and the wide range of humanities collaborations that are underway. We strive to build an environment where all voices can be heard and everyone's human experience can be shared. At a recent MH Board of Directors meeting, we discussed important aspects of our work, and the creative ways we can provide programs and grants despite the pandemic. In May, we were able to provide organizations with a record amount of grant funding, totaling over $860,000 in awards. A total of 306 applications were received for Michigan HOPE Grants emergency funds with a total of more than 2.5 million dollars in requests; 116 grants were awarded totaling $660,000. Additionally, following the review of 48 applications, 16 Humanities Grants totaling $204,284 were awarded. You can read more about each grant opportunity in the e-news below. We are here to support organizations around the state in their humanities work, and to provide programs that foster a deeper understanding of each other. I’ve never been more proud to be a part of Michigan Humanities. I hope you are, too.
