We’re excited to announce that we’ve awarded over one million dollars in relief funding for Washington State cultural organizations affected by COVID. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The grants, known as <\/span>Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan<\/span><\/a> (SHARP) grants, will support Washington State nonprofit cultural organizations that provide humanities programming and that are facing financial hardship due to the coronavirus. The grants are funded by the American Rescue Plan via the National Endowment for the Humanities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The cultural sector in our state has shown great resiliency during the pandemic, but we cannot forget how deeply it was affected,\u201d said Julie Ziegler, CEO of Humanities Washington. \u201cWe are honored to be able to support this important but fragile sector as we begin to rebuild.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of 122 organizations were awarded $1,024,139, with grants ranging from $2500 to $15,000 per organization. The funding supported either general operating or specific projects. Organizations serving and led by members of communities traditionally under-resourced in the humanities were given priority, especially those organizations serving people of color, immigrants and refugees, those who identify as LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and people whose first or only language is not English.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the second round of grants awarded to cultural organizations from Humanities Washington during the pandemic, the first being in the spring of 2020 via the CARES Act.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic has brought isolation, uncertainty, and loss to so many,\u201d said Ziegler.\u00a0 \u201cThe humanities, with their ability to provide connection and perspective, are an essential part of our recovery. The sector, however, is far from whole compared to pre-pandemic.\u00a0 It is our hope that this investment from the federal government will be further leveraged with state investment for the benefit of the sector.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
