annual reportKANSAS HUMANITIES COUNCIL

2013to donors

Who We areThe Kansas Humanities Council connects communities with history, traditions, and ideas to strengthen civic life. KHC is a 501(c)(3) governed by a volunteer board of directors. Individual and corporate contributions, funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and funding from the State of Kansas supports our work.

What We do and Why Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens, and the humanities provide a way to gain both. Healthy communities depend on the humanities to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and viewpoints about historical and contemporary topics, opportunities to deepen understanding of our shared heritage, and encouragement for innovation in civic life.

In response to these needs, KHC makes available free humanities resources for community use. These include grant opportunities to create cultural events or preserve local historical artifacts and photographs, speakers on Kansas history topics, books and facilitators for group discussions, a gallery of short films for use in and out of the classroom, poet laureate presentations, scripts for reader’s theater events, and additional one-of-a-kind opportunities.

Fiscal year 2013 highlightsAwarded $317,148 in support of humanities projects in KansasLeveraged $1,117,110 in local cost share and contributionsSupported 944 grants and free programs Worked with 133 communities
