The humanities councils support local humanities programs and events. The councils are funded in part by the federal government through NEH's Office of Federal/State Partnership (Fed/State). They also receive funding from private donations, foundations, corporations, and, in some cases, state government.
Stories about the work of state and jurisdictional humanities council are on the Fed/State page. To find out more about the humanities councils near you, browse the alphabetical listing by state and jurisdiction, below.
A printable version of the contact information for the state and jurisdictional humanities councils can be found here (PDF).
