Year-round, we cultivate the joy of the humanities statewide, providing public programming and funding for organizations and projects from the shores of Lake Michigan to the banks of the Ohio River, from Vigo County to Wayne County. We equip Indiana’s communities to connect, converse and create vibrant, more resilient futures together. Your support ensures that we can continue this vital work.
Keep the humanities alive in Indiana
Facing recent funding challenges, we have persevered, working to spark curiosity, connect people, and explore the human experience through programs, grants, and storytelling across Indiana.
Inspiring civic pride, helping preserve a community’s heritage, and promoting dialogue are just a few of the gifts the humanities offer. We’re proud to be an organization that has been helping people access and explore the world around them and their place in it for the past 52 years. We provide communities across the state with grants and program support, and share the power of the humanities through traveling exhibitions, speakers series, film screenings, conversations, and other initiatives that enhance quality of life.
Please help us continue this good work by giving today.
With your help, we will 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 in all 92 counties. Your contribution allows us to continue using the practice of the humanities to help strengthen the civic fabric of our state.
The work we share feeds curiosity, helps us think critically, and allows us to explore our common bonds. We invite you to make a gift to support the public humanities for everyone in Indiana.
Thank you for believing in the power that they possess. And thank you for believing in us.
