create
We engage Hoosiers in statewide conversations by asking questions and working with a variety of partners to create one-of-a-kind programs that encourage us all to think, read and talk.

We support communities by partnering, providing resources, building capacity, connecting, listening and uplifting.
convene
We serve as a neutral convener for people to come together, since community grows from conversation.

We support Indiana nonprofits with grants for public humanities projects.
Unearthed
Unearthed is a multiyear thematic initiative from Indiana Humanities that encourages Hoosiers to explore how we shape the environment, and how the environment shapes us.
