As part of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act economic stabilization plan appropriated by Congress, Chairman Jon Peede and the National Endowment for the Humanities distributed $30 million to 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils as emergency aid for local humanities organizations. Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities (HIHumanities) received $474,167 from the NEH to distribute to organizations adversely impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
As grantmakers committed to serving our community, we are proud to have given out our entire CARES Act allocation to a total of 40 organizations, from Hawaiʻi, Kauaʻi, Maui, Molokaʻi and Oʻahu. In a normal year, these grantees reach constituencies of more than 4 million people, locals and visitors, and for the months of March and April, they reported financial losses totalling more than $8 million. The majority of these organizations provide public humanities programs to underserved populations and have shown remarkable creativity in maintaining community connection during the current health crisis.
