Major Underwriter

Lead Corporate Sponsor

Lewis & Clark and the Indian Country is made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life. The Sara Lee Foundation is the Lead Corporate Sponsor of the exhibition. Major underwriting has been generously contributed by Ruth C. Ruggles.

Additional support for the exhibition and related public programming has been received from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the National Park Service's Lewis and Clark Challenge Cost-share grant program.
