Corporate sponsorship at California Humanities is more than a contribution; it’s a collaboration rooted in shared values and local impact.
Through statewide public humanities programs that reach communities across the Golden State, corporate partners can connect their commitment to sparking curiosity, building community, and encouraging cultural understanding with meaningful on-the-ground work. Together, we bring people together to listen, learn, and engage across regions, identities, and lived experiences.
