Celebrating 50 Years in 2025
California Humanities was founded in 1975. Since then, our independent, nonprofit organization has produced, funded, created, and supported hundreds of humanities-based projects and programs and eye-opening cultural experiences, awarding over $44 million in grants across every Congressional district in the state.
The organization will kick-off its 50th anniversary celebrations starting in January 2025. See below for ways that you can participate in some of the exciting activities we have planned throughout the year.
Congratulations to California Humanities on 50 years of dedicated work to connect Californians with one another, celebrate our shared heritage and diverse cultures, and inspire civic engagement. The humanities have an essential role in understanding our past and navigating the complexities of our time to shape the future. I look forward to their continued contributions towards our state’s vibrancy and strength.
50th Anniversary Events
On February 28, 2025, California Humanities will host a celebration for the public, partners, and past and present leadership in San Francisco. The event, to be held at the City Club of San Francisco, will include the program, How Will the Humanities Revolutionize AI, and will include participation by NEH Chair Shelly C. Lowe (Navajo) and moderation by Rachael Myrow from KQED.
