General operating support for state or territorial humanities council

For over forty years, the Wyoming Humanities Council, a 501c3 non-profit, has invested in Wyoming Communities by supporting cultural opportunities that ask participants to study the complexities of human existence. From museum exhibits and lectures to nationally televised documentaries, our grant-supported projects and programs reach hundreds of thousands of Wyomingites and tourists each year and help represent Wyoming's unique cultural heritage to the world. As well, our in-house lecture series and reading programs have become staples for many rural libraries and museums looking to bring education opportunities to their facilities. With the foundational mandate of bringing humanities programming to the public at large, WHC is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Wyoming Legislature through the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, and through donor support.
