Chances are, you're here because you recognize the immense significance of the humanities in shaping our world. Or maybe you want to understand more about what the humanities really are. Either way, you’ve come to the right place.
If you are human, you already "do" the humanities. Everything you read, think, create, and do adds to the human experience and can be looked at for interpretation and understanding. Here, we do just that. Explore and grow with us through our four main initiatives.
The Center for the Book fosters a love of books as well as the exploration of contemporary issues through literature.
Our Community Heritage program encourages Utahns to explore, preserve, and share their unique local history, culture, and traditions.
Our Higher Education Access program uses the humanities to expand educational opportunities for communities underrepresented in higher education.
Our Community Conversations program was created with the belief that facilitated conversation engages a community better than rhetoric and argument.
You can make a one-time gift, a gift in memory or in honor of someone special in your life, or give monthly to support our work.
In response to recent funding cuts, "Humanities100" is a matching grant offered by the Federation of State Humanities Councils, with support from the Mellon Foundation. This initiative encourages local giving and will match donations dollar-for-dollar—up to $50,000—to help us reach a total of $100,000 in support. Help UH meet this match as we plan for our future.
Make a donation to the challenge grant and help us reach $50,000!
