YES. I want to help uncover the real stories of California by supporting the vital work of the California Council for the Humanities. Suggested gift amounts: $75.00, $50.00, $25.00.

Support from individuals is vital to our success.

Make a gift to the Council of $50.00, and we’ll send you a copy of “California Uncovered: Stories for the 21st Century,” CCH’s lively new anthology of California writing that creates a startling portrait of the state. Featured are new voices – Khaled Hosseini, Dao Strom, Greg Sarris, Yxta Maya Murray, Laila Halaby -- names that recall all the nations of the world – and established California writers like Joan Didion and John Steinbeck.

OR

Make a gift to the council of $75.00 and receive this beautiful California Stories print, designed by renowned graphic artist Michael Schwab. Silk-screened on French archival paper, the dramatic print is 36 inches wide and 15.5 inches tall.
