This year, WordSpring is especially proud to have received a prestigious Humanities For All Quick Grant award from California Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Humanities For All is a new grant program that supports locally-initiated public humanities projects that respond to the needs and interests of Californians, encourage greater public participation in humanities programming, particularly by new and/or underserved audiences, and promotes understanding and empathy among all our state’s peoples in order to cultivate a thriving democracy. WordSpring 2020 would not be possible without the help of California Humanities.

Thank you to our 2019 sponsors: Chico News & Review, Jen White, Dr. Carol Barr, Richard and Felicia Uhden, Gillian Emmons and Eric Cohen, Gretchen Emmons, the Butte College English Department.

A special thank you to 2018’s sponsors: the Butte College English Department, Butte College Associated Students, Barnes & Noble, Chico Bag, Brooklyn Bridge Bagel Works, and Alan Rellaford Graphic Design.
