Endowment for humanities program costs.

The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens requests a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in the amount of $500,000 to support the establishment of a Humanities Program Endowment. The Museum will raise an additional $1.5 million in matching funds for a total endowment of $2 million. This is part of a larger $25 million campaign that will create named endowments and dedicated spaces for education, gardens, programs, and curatorial activities, all of which support the humanities. The Humanities Program Endowment will extend and sustain humanities-based public programming that connects diverse audiences to a variety of themes explored through the Museum’s Collections, exhibitions, historic gGardens, and educational initiatives. The needs and aspirations funded by the endowment will also be supported with a new facility dedicated to connecting audiences to intellectually rigorous explorations of art, history, religion, philosophy, literature, environment, and civil discourse.
