That’s how they learned a $341,000 grant from the National Endowment for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Humanities</a> was canceled."The money was funding a project to catalog, digitize, and publish material NHF has collected from Maine television stations over the last 35 years. Weiss says they’re now looking at a $104,000 budget deficit and the paychecks of all seven archives staff members are taking a hit." 'The only good thing about it is that I don’t feel singled out, you know? I feel like this is just a broad thing that happened, and we got caught up in it. It’s not like they said, ‘You are bad.’ It’s just like, ‘Well, you’re all bad.’ So, safety in numbers, maybe that’s the best I can say,' Weiss said."While Weiss says an appeal wouldn’t do any good, there is the potential for them to be involved in a lawsuit to hopefully get some of the funding back."In the meantime, they’ve launched a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fundraising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fundraising</a> push to try to cover some of the losses. It’s raised $15,000 in just two days."If you’d like to contribute, visit oldfilm.org and click on 'GIVE.'
