What Kansans Say

We see our continued financial support of KHC as a way of ensuring future generations will continue to benefit from programs which will promote their enjoyment and understanding of the humanities, the arts, their history, and will perhaps encourage their role in a more diversity-tolerant society.
Jim and Margie Braden, Clay Center
We all just loved the Talk About Literature in Kansas presentation and I had participants seek me out days later to tell me how wonderful they thought this discussion was. I agree!
Local Coordinator, Basehor Community Library

I give to the Kansas Humanities Council because KHC programs ‘provide opportunities for lifelong learning' and because, like KHC, I ‘believe in the power of ideas to open minds, spark imagination, and nurture community.’
Kathleen Holt, Cimarron
It is through the efforts made possible by KHC grants that historical organizations like us can continue to research, collect, and share our rich history here in Kansas.
Project Director, Nicodemus Historical Society

When I look at the KHC map of Kansas with all those dots all over the state, I know that KHC is a vitally important resource for this state and its people.
J. Karen Ray, Topeka
We can keep the doors open and provide basic services, but it’s the KHC programs and projects that really kick us up a notch and enhance our library and community.
Local Coordinator, Parsons

KHC helps us slow down and consider some pretty big questions – and have some fun while doing it.
