The Idaho Humanities Council (IHC), the
statewide nonprofit organization devoted to
enhancing public awareness, appreciation, and
understanding of the humanities in Idaho,
awarded $75,575 in grants to organizations and
individuals at its last board meeting in Boise.
Thirty-nine awards include 28 grants for public
humanities programs, seven grants to K-12
teachers, and four planning grants. The grants
were supported in part by funding from the
National Endowment for the Humanities and IHC's
Endowment for Humanities Education.
The Boundary County Historical Museum, Bonners
Ferry, was awarded $2,000 for local interpretive
exhibits to accompany the Smithsonian exhibit
"The Way We Worked," on display from May 12
through June 23, 2012.
One exhibit tells the story of the100-year-old
fire department, and the other highlights the
history of blacksmithing in the county.
Dottie Gray is the project director.
The next deadline for Idaho Humanities Council
grant proposals is September 15, 2012.
IHC strongly recommends that prospective
applicants contact staff to discuss their
project ideas before writing their proposals.
Applicants also are strongly encouraged to
submit a rough draft of their proposal for staff
critique several weeks prior to the deadline.
Grant guidelines and online application
instructions, as well as information about IHC
grants and activities, are available on IHC's
