LEH Distributes $60k in Support of Emergency Readiness and Mitigation
The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, with the support of the State of Louisiana, has awarded $60,000 in grants to 16 nonprofit cultural organizations across 12 parishes in support of ongoing efforts to mitigate previous impacts from emergency events and prepare for future threats.
Natural disasters, like hurricanes, floods, and a range of other types of emergency events, pose serious threats to Louisiana’s critical cultural institutions, including museums, archives, historic sites, and more. LEH’s Emergency Readiness Grants help organizations better prepare for and respond to potential threats, reducing vulnerability and putting in place clear and current strategies for mitigating the effects of future emergencies.
