is awarded grant
The Idaho Humanities Council (IHC), the statewide nonprofit organization devoted to enhancing public awareness, appreciation, and understanding of the humanities in Idaho, recently awarded $60,255 in grants to organizations and individuals. Thirty-four awards include fourteen major grants for public humanities programs, one planning grant, twelve Opportunity Grants, six Teacher Incentive Grants, and one other funded program. The grants were supported in part by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Idaho Humanities Council’s Endowment for Humanities Education. Locally, the Monastery of St. Gertrude, was awarded $2,190 for the creation of two exhibits in the gallery, “The Camas Prairie to the Rivers.” The first will focus on mining, the immigration of Chinese and the Chinese Massacre, and the second will feature the Nez Perce War of 1877. The project director is Mary Schmidt, mschmidt@stgertrudes.org. |
