Humanities Iowa

The mission of Humanities Iowa is to promote understanding and appreciation of the people, communities, culture, and stories of importance to iowa and the nation. Humanities Iowa (HI) is committed to bringing the Humanities to the public through grant making, publications, interactive programming and events. Founded in 1971, HI is an affiliate of the national endowment for the Humanities (neh) in Washington, d.c. We provide grants and partnerships to other non-profit organizations that further the Humanities in the state, and we conduct our own programs that support the Humanities across iowa. Each year we serve over 250,000 iowans with programming and projects like our speakers bureau. We have a strong commitment to sharing and supporting the Humanities with all iowans, and to bringing the Humanities to life.
