MHC seeks Minnesota-based grant reviewers to assist MHC in determining what individuals, museums, or organizations to award grants in current funding opportunities. While all individuals are welcome to apply, MHC is particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals from BIPOC communities, individuals with humanities experience, individuals with museum experience, individuals who have assisted non-profit organizations, and individuals with civics and government education experience.
Reviewers will receive an honorarium for their time and expertise ranging from $250-$750 based on participation. Panelists’ names will be shared at the conclusion of the award selection process.
If interested, please complete the Independent Review Panelist interest form. MHC will follow-up with each person who applies.
