Twenty additional organizations receive LCCF grants
The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities has awarded emergency relief grants from the Louisiana Culture Care Fund to an additional 20 organizations in 13 parishes. See the full list below.
The Louisiana Culture Care Fund provides emergency relief funding to humanities organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With initial funding provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the federal American Rescue Plan Act, awards range between $3,000 and $20,000, and applications are open now through July 9, or until funds are expended. Grants are reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis.
The grants are available to 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural organizations in Louisiana with a strong humanities focus, such as museums, historic sites and archives, as well as the state’s diverse array of humanities-focused media, festivals and more.
