he Minnesota Humanities Center, an independent nonprofit that is an affiliate with the National Endowment for the Humanities, has recently received funding from the Minnesota Legislature to provide grants to individuals, museums and organizations. I love it when state money flows from the Twin Cities to Duluth. Apply!

The Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC), by virtue of funding provided by the Minnesota Legislature, will be accepting applications between September 14 and October 30, 2023, for the following grant opportunities:

• Cultural Heritage grants for humanities organizations & individuals, to create programming and educational opportunities.
