The Avery-Copp House would like to hire and train seasonal staff for the 2021 museum season. Our goals are twofold: to increase staff diversity, and to provide tours free of charge in order to serve the needs of our community.

The Bill Memorial Library (BML) is an association library in Groton, CT, one of three libraries in the town. With municipal funding becoming increasingly tenuous, we strive to be financially independent of municipal funding and able to fund transformational growth of the organization. To that end, the BML will hire a consultant to work with the Board of Trustees, Friends group, and staff to improve the fundraising work of these library stakeholders.

CT Humanities is honored to have partnered with the CT Office of the Arts to administer the CT Museums – Kids Are Free Summer Grant program which then became Connecticut Summer at the Museum – Free Admission for Kids.

The Department of Economic and Community Development, in partnership with the Office of the Governor, Connecticut State Department of Education, Office of Early Childhood and CT Humanities, delivered these financially accessible summer enrichment opportunities to families and children of all ages using funding provided through ARP ESSER (American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act, 2021 Emergency and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER)).

CT Humanities awarded a total of $119,371.71 to 17 Connecticut organizations to help enable them to provide free admission to Connecticut children and one accompanying adult between July 1 and September 6, 2021.

Funding for Connecticut nonprofit humanities and cultural organizations facing financial hardship resulting from COVID-19, funded by the CARES Act via the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Bill Memorial Library will begin a thorough and formal strategic planning process that will help guide them into their next chapter as a relevant, sustainable, and enriching institution that meets the needs of the citizens of Groton.
