Humanities Council of Washington, DC

Founded in 1980, the Humanities Council of Washington, DC (HumanitiesDC) aims to enrich the quality of life, foster intellectual stimulation, and promote cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of local history in all neighborhoods of the District through humanities programs and grants.

HumanitiesDC is committed to supporting projects that breathe life into the unique stories of our rich communities. Through our grants programs and various partnerships throughout the city and all eight wards, HumanitiesDC offers unique financial support that affords communities, neighborhood organizations, churches, and others the chance to tell their stories through public humanities projects such as: written publications, documentary films, websites, lesson plans, tours, and much, much more.
