Do you believe in the power of the humanities?

“The goal should be that everybody gets a chance to read great books and participate in the richness that humanities bring us.” —Bill Gates

The humanities bring us together to spur community dialogue and personal reflection. 

The humanities explore the big questions facing Maryland today with mindful curiosity.

The humanities investigate our heritage and imagine our future.

The humanities strengthen the ties that bring us together.

The humanities inspire both young and old to understand what it means to be human.

Please join us as a partner in the vital impact that humanities have all across Maryland.

When you make a tax-deductible contribution, you enable us to reach nearly half a million Marylanders each year—your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. 

Did you attend a Chautauqua living history performance or participate in a One Maryland One Book discussion?  Do you have a student scholar who competed in Maryland History Day or the Letters About Literature competition? Did a Speakers’ Bureau scholar stimulate your mind? Did Let’s Be Shore conversations open your eyes to new perspectives about our precious natural resources? Did the Journey Stories in your community reveal something new?  If you did, you experienced first-hand the tremendous impact the humanities have.

You can help ensure that Marylanders continue to learn and grow through engagement with the humanities.
