Support the Humanities

The humanities encourage us to consider the complex and varied array of human experiences, ideas, and expressions. For nearly 45 years, the National Humanities Center has nurtured the work of scholars who have helped us appreciate the human story more fully and in greater depth. The ideas they’ve produced have then been disseminated by far and wide—influencing the way we think about the world and our place in it.

Your support makes all of this possible. Please consider making a gift today, and help us continue the humanities’ vital work.
