The Kentucky Humanities Center for the Book is a 501 c 3…. I love the idea that you’re thinking about NEW funding! Thanks, Bill Bill Goodman Executive Director Kentucky Humanities 206 E.

When we produced the book festival NEA funded us each year for many years, but the funding was to Humanities Montana.

All—I have been discussing with a contact at the National Endowment for the Arts on how affiliated centers could apply for programming grants. You have to be a 501, I was told. Can you tell me whether you are or are not a 501©3? As I mentioned the last time we met, I want to organize the centers into regions, to encourage more collaboration, but I was also thinking these regional groupings might be organized as a 501, in order for them to apply for NEA funding. Please let me know your thoughts as well re becoming or being (if you already are) a 501. I want to invite NEA to make a presentation on applying for grant funding. Thanks, Guy
