California Humanities announced it would suspend payments to grantees totaling $400,000 after the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) redirected funding under the Trump administration, jeopardizing the organization's programs. CEO Rick Noguchi expressed the organization's commitment to its mission of connecting Californians through humanities projects and civic engagement. Despite the abrupt funding halt affecting numerous projects, California Humanities aims to collaborate with other councils to navigate this challenge and fight for the continuation of support for important humanities work throughout the state.
California Humanities CEO Rick Noguchi stated that funding was terminated unexpectedly as NEH redirects allocations under the President's agenda, impacting grant payments to grantees.
This change, determined by the Trump administration, has halted California Humanities' support for local projects, demonstrating the fragility of funding in the humanities sector.
