The Meredith Nicholson Society
The purpose of The Meredith Nicholson Society is to support the Indiana Humanities Council in its work to strengthen
Hoosier communities through its various programs.
The Meredith Nicholson Society is made up of leading Indiana citizens and
philanthropists who believe that the humanities are essential to the future
of Indiana’s communities. Through their membership, these leaders help
to advance the mission, increase the visibility and broaden the base of
sustained annual support for the Council’s work.
The Society is named in honor of noted Indiana author Meredith Nicholson,
whose historic Georgian home serves as the headquarters of the Indiana Humanities
Council.

"I support the Indiana Humanities Council because as a parent in a busy family of boys, I relish any resource that will help me and my children stay connected to their academic experience. The work that the Indiana Humanities Council is doing through the smartDESKTOP initiative to help teachers, parents and students efficiently harness the power of technology will be invaluable to that end." - Terry Anker, Carmel |
