Cultural groups across the United States are facing severe funding cuts as the federal government has announced the termination of humanities grants. This has led to jeopardy for various programs, including those at the Museum of North Idaho and the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. Organizations such as the Oklahoma Humanities and Humanities Kansas are losing vital federal support, with many fearing closure due to the cancellations. These cuts are a part of broader reductions under the current administration that have also impacted arts and humanities councils across multiple states. As local organizations scramble for support, the National Endowment for the Humanities and other federal funding sources see their budgets drastically slashed, putting a wide array of cultural projects at risk and prompting urgent calls for advocacy from affected entities.
