Sustaining Excellence, Innovation
and Access for the Future
These live, face-to-face encounters enhance our capacity to discern, reflect, listen, and converse thoughtfully and respectfully. They reinforce the obligations of citizenship. And they build trust and connectedness among neighbors, nearby and around the globe.
Each year, in partnership with more than 300 local organizations, New Hampshire Humanities brings opportunities for learning, reflection, and civil conversation to more than 70,000 residents through more than 540 free public programs and broadcasts held in 165 different communities.
After 40 years of service to the citizens of New Hampshire, it is time to chart a course that will ensure that the humanities remain accessible to all New Hampshire residents for decades to come.
How will we achieve that?
