Be Inspired by Louisiana 2014 Annual Report he Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities is committed to delivering access to the state’s cultural heritage to all of Louisiana’s citizens. Each year, we fund and produce exhibits, lectures, public programs, publications and workshops. Each day, we warmly extend invitations to analyze, interpret and participate in Louisiana’s stirring literary traditions, historical narratives and distinctly inventive sounds and icons. Now, we are saying thank you to all of our supporters. Thank you for sustaining the humanities in Louisiana. Miranda Restovic Michael Bernstein President/Executive Director Chair II LOUISIANA ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES We graciously acknowledge our supporters. Humanities Hero: BHP Billiton Petroleum BHP Billiton Petroleum, a British-Australian natural resource mining corporation, expressed incredible commitment to sustainability, integrity and respect in the LEH’s literacy programming through a $540,000 partnership with PRIME TIME Inc., a humanities-focused and outcomes-based program designed to engage underserved children and families around the act of reading. Over three years, BHP Billiton Petroleum will support approximately 100 PRIME TIME Inc. programs across seven parishes (Bossier, Caddo, Desoto, Lafourche, Orleans, Red River and Terrebonne), reaching more than 2,500 children ages three to five and their caregivers. From adventures and life lessons found in timeless children’s books, kids and adults share their own thoughts, opinions and creative ideas about the characters and storylines. These reading-and-discussion sessions come to life in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. Our community-rooted recruitment systems allow us to reach new, struggling and reluctant readers and introduce children to the joy of reading. PRIME TIME also inspires adults with the example of how rewarding and easy it can be to be a child’s fir st teacher. Humanities Hero: The Helis Foundation New Orleans’ own Helis Foundation generously bestowed $96,000 in support of scholarship in KnowLA.org, the Digitial Encyclopedia of Louisiana, which is just the latest in a long series of significant gifts to the LEH since 2007. Our ongoing relationship with the Helis Foundation has permitted us to present more online humanities content and encourage vigorous Louisiana scholarship while also stewarding a collection of original Louisiana artworks. The Helis Foundation’s generous support helped us introduce new audiences to rich Louisiana humanities entries in KnowLA.org and our 2012 book, A Unique Slant of Light: The Bicentennial of Art in Louisiana, which compiled such artistic talents as Jacques Amans, John McCrady, Sister Gertrude Morgan and Walter Inglis Anderson, among 275 Off the Edge Neighborhood, artists and photographers, into a print publication and website. From Germantown, a sculpture by John Scott Webster parish’s 19th-century utopian experiment, to the solemn Creole Catholic traditions of la Toussaint (All Saints’ Day), KnowLA.org covers the cultural contexts surrounding our state’s folk rituals, characters and great minds. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Our Donors $50 - $99 David Buttross J.
