Humanities Council asks you to get involved with your community and with
supporting the humanities in Michigan and to join Michigan Humanities
Council in its efforts to bring these valuable educational opportunities
to the people of Michigan. Here are some of the ways you can help...
Become
A Friend of the Humanities
Be a contributing partner as a friend of the Humanities, and
receive a gift from the Humanities in return! You can help bring public
humanities programs, and more, to Michigan and to your community by making
a tax-deductible donation as a Friend of the Humanities. Your gift may
be matched by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Your contribution
will also be recognized by Michigan Humanities Council on its website
and in a following newsletter.
Directory
of Humanities Professionals
If you are looking for a humanities expert for a cultural project or program,
then the Directory of Humanities Professionals is the place for you! Just
link to the search page to find a variety of categories to match the individual
humanities professional to the topic of interest: search by last name,
region, county, area of expertise/specialization, or academic affiliation.
Then, under that specific listing, select the individual professional
to review their professional background, their expertise and their interests.
You can directly contact the professional to discuss your project and
to learn more about the particular topic of your inquiry... if you need
help to match humanities resources with local needs, consider applying
for a Quick Grant which can provide up to $500 towards bringing the professional
to your project.
Contact
Your Legislator
Michigan Humanities Council helps provide the local public humanities
with programming focusing on local history and culture. The Council would
like to remind project directors that legislators should be informed (and
invited when possible) about publicly funded projects. The ability of
Michigan Humanities Council to assist your organization and community
by providing cultural opportunities depends on legislative appropriations.
It's an obligation to inform legislators of the value of taxpayer-supported
programs. The resources on this page will help you to do so. This information
is being made available because we realize that there is no substitute
for support from the locals... legislative contact from local project
directors and citizens is of the utmost importance. We encourage you to
use the resources on this page to inform your legislators of your projects
and the role that Michigan Humanities Council has played in helping fund
your project.
