Support the Humanities: Scholarly Programs
A gift to the Center’s scholarly programs helps to advance the extraordinary work of NHC Fellows, providing funds for the exceptional library services and other forms of support that make the Center an ideal place for humanities research, reflection, and writing.
The Library
One of the highlights for nearly every scholar who comes to the NHC is the opportunity to work with the Center’s talented librarians. Drawing on over 20 million volumes held by the Triangle Research Library Network as well as other libraries and archives in the US and abroad, library staff fulfill, on average, 13,000 materials requests each year from NHC Fellows and summer residents. The Library’s success rate in filling scholars’ requests is consistently between 99.7% and 99.9%. Make a gift to support NHC library services today.
At-Risk Scholars
As part of its ongoing commitment to academic freedom and in response to a global refugee crisis, the Center is working to support threatened and displaced scholars. Your donation will help at-risk scholars who have been forced from their home countries by war or political persecution continue to pursue their research in a peaceful setting surrounded by other NHC scholars.
Childcare Bursary Fund
In 2016, NHC Fellow Daniel Scroop and literary scholar Julia Reid lost their beloved three-year-old daughter, Flora, shortly after concluding their year at the National Humanities Center. In memory of Flora, the couple established this childcare bursary to help defray preschool childcare costs for a Fellow and their family every year. Please consider making a gift to make it possible for the Center to supplement these much needed resources for a Fellow in next year’s class.
The National Humanities Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by IRS regulations.
