blueeowynSo as it should have been expected DOGE and Trump have turned their hatred on the the the humanities.
From an email I got today from Cathy Gorn (head of NHD)
Yesterday, our Board President wrote to you to let you know that funding for NHD from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) was in jeopardy. This morning, that became a reality when we learned that our grants from NEH were terminated. This means a loss of more than $336,000 over this year and next. As we noted yesterday, part of these funds were designated for the 2025 National Contest. We are committed to proceeding as usual, providing an unparalleled experience for our young historians, so I am coming to you for your help. In the next few months, we need to raise $132,000 for this year’s contest alone to make up for the loss of NEH funding. Can I count on you to help?
