Assembled from state humanities council information by Meg Ferris, Federal/State Partnership
The 56 humanities councils located in all U.S. states and jurisdictions support local humanities programs and events. The state humanities councils are funded in part by the federal government through NEH's Federal/State Partnership Office. They also receive funding from private donations, foundations, corporations, and, in some cases, state government.
Stories about the work of state humanities council are on the Federal/State Partnership page. Articles about the public humanities programming by state humanities councils appear in most issues of Humanities, as do articles about council executives. Bios of all the council executives are also available on this website. To find out more about the humanities councils near you, browse the alphabetical listing by state, below.
