Eight Montgomery County nonprofits received $10,000 each from the Maryland Humanities in its Marilyn Hatza Memorial SHINE (Strengthening the Humanities Investment in Nonprofits for Equity).
“I’m proud of how our SHINE Grants Program has grown and appreciate how the Grants Team has helped find an in-road for organizations who may not self-identify as humanities organizations but whose work is crucial to keeping the humanities alive around Maryland,” says Lindsey Baker, CEO at Maryland Humanities.
Those receiving grants in Montgomery County include Docs in Progress, Boulanger Initiative, Sugarland Ethno History Project, Inc., Civic Circle Bethesda Historical Society, Action Youth Media, Nepal Education and Cultural Center EducArte, Inc.
The individual nonprofits decide how best to spend their grant money.
The grants are funded by Maryland through its Historical Trust.
🎉 Congratulations to our latest Hatza Memorial SHINE Grantees! 🎉
We’re thrilled to have awarded 90 general operating grants throughout Maryland. Grantees this year cover all but 2 of Maryland’s counties (including Baltimore City).
