Hi. My name is Daryl Lynn dance, and I’m honored to be a supporter of the Virginia humanities.
My work with the Virginia Humanities began in 1998 when I was a development associate at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy. There, I learned about fundraising and I also learned more about the grants programs, the fellowship programs, the film programs, and all of the wonderful things that Virginia Humanities does.

“My love for the humanities stems from my appreciation of literature, history, politics, government, civics and philosophy.”
