This bill appropriates $500,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support the organization Sweet Potato Comfort Pie. The funds will be allocated through a grant to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Humanities Center, which will use the money to fund programming that focuses on celebrating traditional food and utilizing culinary arts, storytelling, and other creative methods to educate communities about culture and history.

The initiative aims to enhance cultural awareness and appreciation within communities by promoting the sharing of cultural heritage through various artistic expressions. This funding is intended to foster a deeper understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds and histories, thereby enriching the community's overall cultural landscape.
