Humanities Iowa proposes to administer Council-conducted programs and to make re-grants to Iowan nonprofits. Applicants for WE THE PEOPLE funding will be encouraged to design programs and projects that capture both the heritage and contemporary concerns of Iowans, especially in rural areas. Of special interest are projects that explore how cultural and ethnic diversity informs and challenges our collective ideas of identity, particularly our identity as Americans. |
