McKnight Arts & Humanities Endowment
The McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment was established in 1991 with a generous grant from the McKnight Foundation, a non-profit organization in Minnesota. From the beginning, the Endowment’s mission has been to support, sustain, and enliven arts and humanities research and activities on the four University campuses. Each year it fulfills that mission by supporting scholarly and creative projects and initiatives that benefit the University community and communities beyond.
Three of the Endowment’s four programs offer research or travel awards to tenured and/or tenure-track faculty in the arts and humanities. While the fourth has traditionally funded cultural and artistic events on the University campuses, it has more recently provided support for major University initiatives.
