Advancing Racial Equity Speakers Bureau
From histories of Black Hoosier communities, to discussions of policies that have disproportionately affected people of color, to celebrations of Black literature and art, the presentations in the Advancing Racial Equity (ARE) Speakers Bureau reveal how our past informs our present as we continually work toward racial equity.
About the Speakers Bureau
How it works
If selected through the application process, Indiana Humanities will pay the speaker’s fee ($400) directly. Host organizations agree to cover any travel costs requested by the speaker and to submit an event notification and final report to Indiana Humanities. A template agreement letter is provided by Indiana Humanities for hosts to use as they finalize the details of their event with the speaker, along with resources to get the word out, like posters and a template press release. Programs can begin any time after Sept.1, 2023 and we ask that all programs be completed by Dec. 31, 2024.
How to apply
Applications to host a speaker funded by Indiana Humanities are currently closed.
If your organization missed the chance to apply, or is not eligible to host a speaker funded by Indiana Humanities, you can still peruse our speaker catalog and contact your preferred speaker directly to negotiate rates, dates and other event information.
