ELKINS — The Kump Education Center will receive a West Virginia Humanities Council grant to support the creation of new interpretive displays for the Gov. H. Guy Kump House.

“We are pleased to receive this grant,” said Heather Biola, executive director of the Kump Education Center. “We look forward to providing more ways to share the history of this home and Gov. Kump’s political contributions.

“Many do not know the innovative policies he put into effect that had a positive influence on public education, state roads and easing the financial burden on West Virginia residents hit hard by the Depression.”

The West Virginia Humanities Council is the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and recently announced 18 new mini-grants recipients in its latest round of awards. The Humanities Council serves West Virginia through grants and direct programs.

The $1,500 grant for “Kump House at the Crossroads,” will support the new interpretive displays that will focus not only on the historical significance of the site, but also the legacy of Kump, one of the most influential governors in the state’s history.

Grant funding will also assist in a special “unveiling” weekend event, “Something Old, Something New,” that will feature Kump family wedding gowns and memorabilia as well as the new displays. The summer Open Houses are scheduled for June 25-26.

The project will allow more open hours for the Kump House and encourage more visits by students and tourist groups.

“With the creation of interpretive materials, we will be able to offer a better visitor experience,” Biola said. “We appreciate the funding assistance and look forward to opening our doors more this summer.”

The Humanities Council budgets more than $800,000 for grants and programs each year. A variety of grants are offered to nonprofit organizations that support educational programming.

Major grants are designed for projects requesting over $1,500 and up to $20,000 and are awarded twice annually. Mini grants, designed for projects requesting $1,500 or less, are awarded four times per year. The next Humanities Council minigrant deadline is June 1 and the next major grant deadline is Sept. 1.

For more information about the West Virginia Humanities Council grants program, contact Humanities Council grants administrator Erin Riebe at 304-346-8500 or via email at riebe@wvhumanities.org. Grant guidelines and applications are available on the Humanities Council website, www.wvhumanities.org.
