Maryland Humanities
Maryland Humanities launched a special three-pronged project, Voice and Votes Electoral Engagement Program. The project was built upon the framework of existing programs to highlight themes of civic engagement, voting rights, election history, and other relevant electoral themes identified by our partners. The project provided program support grants to organizations to develop programming around issues related to US elections and civic engagement; a statewide digital young voter story collection initiative; and a signature author event focused on electoral engagement.
