Challenge Grant
The center has been founded, in part, through a highly competitive Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Receipt of an award of $500,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities is contingent upon the university's raising an additional $1.5 million from private donors and foundations. In order to take advantage of the full match, CSCS staff must raise $332,000 by July 31, 2005, with an additional $666,330 raised by July 31, 2006. Funds raised will establish an endowment that ensures the center's vitality. We invite your interest and participation in our efforts. Click Here for more information.
