We just received official word: The Humanity Project has been awarded the largest grant in our nearly seven year history. This comes from our great friends and sponsors at State Farm, specifically their Youth Advisory Board (YAB). The State Farm YAB is a panel of young people who are given the responsibility to award $5 million in nationally competitive grants each year. These socially conscious students read through hundreds of applications before selecting a relative few for their important awards. This money will go for a valuable purpose at the Humanity Project, enabling us to build a new companion website just for kids. It will be called thp4kids.com: The Humanity Project 4 Kids. The site will focus on innovative but fun content for socially isolated youth from about the ages of 8-14, the years when so many children are confused and lonely and often bullied as well. Part of our goal is to make thp4kids a webaite that is appealing to some kids in the LGBT community, the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender youths who frequently struggle with issues of identity.

The Humanity Project believes in humanity, despite all the ills of our modern world. But we are not in any way a political or religious group. We take no position on matters of domestic or foreign politics. Still, some issues transcend politics — and we feel one of those is the struggle by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to be treated as full human beings. The Humanity Project’s anti-bullying program teaches that bullying any student hurts every student and the LGBT debate ties in with the issue of bullying.
