Humanities Montana is encouraging local historians, cultural knowledge keepers, scholars, and storytellers to submit proposals to expand knowledge and understanding of Montana’s diverse culture and history.

If interested, check the 2024 Mini-Grants and Community Project Grants webpages at humanitiesmontana.org. A recent letter about grant opportunities emphasized the organization is particularly interested in “projects that engage youth in living history experiences.”

Humanities Montana also announced the state’s oldest county library, Chouteau County Library — Fort Benton, received a $500 stipend to support “Community Conversations.” In April, the library will host an “Everyone Reads” book discussion to help community members get to know one another.
