HUMANITIES 100 CAMPAIGN
We’re proud to join the Humanities 100 Campaign, a national initiative of the Federation of State Humanities Councils, made possible through the generous support of the Mellon Foundation.
Now through December 31, 2025, every dollar you give will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000 — doubling your impact on the humanities in the Marianas!
Your contribution helps sustain programs that celebrate our shared stories and strengthen community connections, including the Valentine N. Sengebau Poetry Competition, Ina-fa’måolik – Tipiyeew Matters, A250: My Marianas Writing Contest, and the Satawal Pwo Ceremony.
Please consider making your gift to NMHC before December 31 and help us keep the humanities thriving across our islands.
