Bringing neighbors outside to explore our sense of place
ALERT! The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has been notified of severe cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), placing 80% of NEH staff on administrative leave, cutting almost all agency grant programs, and rescinding grants and contracts that have already been awarded and signed. Cuts to our critical federal funding is already forcing us to drastically reduce or eliminate grant-making, leaving hundreds of libraries, schools, museums, and nonprofits without essential support. Contact your Congressional representative today and urge them to preserve the stories, histories, cultures, and conversations that make New Hampshire communities strong and vibrant. Give a gift to support our work, visit our web page at www.nhhumanities.org/protectNEH, and view our public statement here.
