To support local humanities initiatives and state humanities council operations.

Indiana Humanities connects people, opens minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk. Indiana Humanities is a statewide nonprofit dedicated to promoting the public humanities as a grant-maker, a neutral convener, a facilitator, a program partner, and much more. In short, Indiana Humanities encourages Hoosiers to think, read and talk. How? By creating our own programs, such as ALL-IN, INconversation, Next Indiana, Novel Conversations and more; by providing grants for humanities programs throughout the state; and by providing a space - physically and digitally - for people to connect and converse.
