NMHC NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
When we lost our federal NEH funding, our community stepped up. Thanks to the Mellon Foundation and Federation of State Humanities Councils, we now have a $50,000 matching grant opportunity. We need your help to reach our goal. Your donation will be doubled through this match, making twice the impact. Your support keeps our vital work going during this critical time. We're incredibly grateful for everyone who's already shown support and made a contribution. Thank you.
Seeking to understand who we are, who we were and who we aspire to be
