2008–09 Hurricane Relief Fund
Humanities Texas announces more than $50,000 in grants for Texas cultural and educational organizations recovering from Hurricanes Dolly, Gustav, and Ike.
Texas cultural and educational organizations may request grants of up to $2,000 for immediate needs resulting from the 2008 storms. Grants support collection replacement, conservation work, and professional consultation.
Libraries that suffered losses to their collections as a result of the hurricane may apply for grants of up to $2,000 to support collection development in such humanities fields as literature and history. Purchases may include books, media resources, and other educational materials.
The Humanities Texas Hurricane Relief Fund is supported by private donations and a $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
