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. Articles about the public humanities programming by state and jurisdictional humanities councils appear in most issues of Humanities, as do articles about council executives.
