Humanities Montana seeks opportunities to support storytelling projects that elevate unheard voices & histories
As we usher in the new year, Humanities Montana welcomes proposals for storytelling projects that will expand our knowledge and understanding of Montana’s diverse culture and history. Projects that feature presentations by local historians, cultural knowledge keepers, or scholars, and projects that engage youth in living history experiences are of particular interest to us this year.
To learn more about our funding opportunities, visit the Mini-Grants and Community Project Grants webpages and contact Megan Sundy at megan.sundy@humanitiesmontana.org or at (406) 243-6067 to discuss your storytelling project idea.
