We are proud to announce that our first sponsor and grantor is the
Marthas Vineyard NAACP. 1854 is also supported in part by a grant
from the Marthas Vineyard Local Culture Council, an agency that is
supported by the Massachusetts Culture Council, by the Permanent
Endowment of Marthas Vineyard, the Marthas Vineyard Savings Bank,
the Marthas Vineyard Center for Visual Arts and the Mass Humanities
Foundation. 1854 is produced under the aegis of the U.S. Slave Song
Project (USSSP), whose founder and artistic director is Jim Thomas.
USSSP is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation and serves as 1854s notfor-profit umbrella. We are grateful to Ms. Leigh B. Smith for her
generosity that has enabled us to move forward. We also are grateful for
many private donations from the Vineyard community. If you wish to
support our project with a donation, please go to our website

501(c)(3) corporation. Your contribution will be deductible according to
