Minnesota Humanities Center Legacy Funded Programming (State Fiscal Years 2014-15)
Funds are appropriated for programs and purposes of the Minnesota Humanities Center. The humanities remind us of where we have been, bring knowledge and insights to current life, and help us envision where we are going. We work to articulate and strengthen what connects us, rather than what divides us. The Minnesota Humanities Center collaborates with organizations and individuals to develop programs that facilitate and frame community conversations, deepen connections, and bring into public life the authentic voices of all people, especially those that have often been left out or marginalized.
The Minnesota Humanities Center is committed to programs that are built with the people in communities across the state and connect with our global, diverse population. During the 2013-15 biennium, the Humanities Center’s Legacy Funded work was divided in three key program areas in order to meet its critical responsibilities to the public and key humanities audiences: 1) Education Initiative; 2) Towards a More Perfect Union: Talking About the Constitution, and 3) Veterans’ Voices.
Programs and Purposes $425,000 the first year and $425,000 the second year are for programs and purposes of the Minnesota Humanities Center. Of this amount, $100,000 each year may be used for the veterans' voices program. The Minnesota Humanities Center may consider museums and organizations celebrating the identities of Minnesotans for grants from these funds. The Minnesota Humanities Center may develop a written plan for the competitive issuance of these grants and, if developed, shall submit that plan for review and approval by the Department of Administration.
