Keep the humanities alive in Indiana  

On April 3, Indiana Humanities received notice from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) terminating congressionally approved grant funding that provides support to our organization and allows us to serve Hoosiers in all 92 counties.

Although we will remain operational, the loss of NEH funding will profoundly impact our ability to serve Hoosiers statewide. Residents in cities, towns, and rural areas will lose access to traveling exhibitions, speakers series, film screenings, community conversations, and many other programs that support Hoosier communities.

Please help us access this much-needed funding by giving today.

This will allow us to continue our vital work with libraries, schools, local historical societies and museums, cultural and arts organizations, local municipalities, community foundations, colleges and universities, and tourism/economic development corporations to help enhance the quality of life and quality of place in Indiana’s communities.

Even with this support, a gap of at least $500,000 remains after the loss of federal funding for this fiscal year alone, which jeopardizes our ability to serve Hoosiers of all ages and circumstances in all 92 counties through free public programs, grants, and storytelling. So please give generously.
