CT Humanities Board of Directors has approved a $5,000 grant for Historic New England’s Roseland Cottage as part of the CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grants program.
Roseland Cottage’s education programs reach thousands of students annually. These programs are an important component of Historic New England’s efforts to engage younger audiences and provide students an opportunity to explore history in the places where it happened.
A state-wide effort
In total CT Humanities provided $16 million in general operating support grants to 624 organizations throughout the state. The grants are to help the state’s museums, cultural, humanities, and arts organizations maintain and grow their ability to serve their community and the public, connect K-12 teachers and students to strong humanities and arts content, and improve their information technology and digital infrastructure.
Support has been provided to Roseland Cottage from CT Humanities, with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts from the Connecticut State Legislature. These CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant funds are part of $30.7 million of support allocated to CT Humanities over two years by the CT General Assembly and approved by Governor Ned Lamont.
