South Dakota Festival of Books Home

This program is administered by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and seeks to deepen the public's knowledge and appreciation of the vital connections between democracy, the humanities, journalism, and an informed citizenry.

For their generous $35,693 support for the "Democracy and the Informed Citizen" Initiative, we thank the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Federation of State Humanities Councils, and the Pulitzer Prizes Board.
