Indiana Humanities connects people, opens minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk.
Indiana Humanities programs encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk, by convening community conversations, exploring rich topics like food or competition and providing sets of books for book clubs.
Indiana Humanities provides humanities-based resources and grants to teachers, schools, libraries, nonprofits and other organizations across the state.
Learn about upcoming programs and events, listen to various points of view, and connect with others. In essence: this is a space to think, read and talk.
Support Indiana Humanities
Indiana Humanities depends on private, philanthropic and corporate donations. In order to effectively provide programs, grants and resources to Hoosiers, Indiana Humanities needs your financial support.
Your gift means that Indiana Humanities can inspire conversations about community-building in places like Lawrence County, Evansville and La Porte. Each year we host Community Conversations around the state which require resources like food for attendees and speaker fees. Your gift allows us to convene people and inspire dialogue with Hoosiers about their communities.
Your gift means we can lend books to incarcerated individuals, senior citizens and high school students to read and discuss themes, motives and outcomes. Gifts by you and others allow us to purchase large-print books, audio books and additional copies for our lending library of more than 400 titles.
Your gift also will help provide educators with lesson plan ideas about topics like civility, innovation, passion, rivalry and failure.
It takes resources like these to provide Hoosiers with unique ways to think, read and talk, and your gift means we can provide those resources.
