HELP US SHAPE THE FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA
California Humanities is a nonprofit organization funded by foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals like you.
Each year, California Humanities’ programs reach more than five million people throughout our state and beyond. We tell untold stories and amplify unheard voices. By strengthening the rich fabric that keeps diverse Californians connected, we ignite conversations that shape the future of California.
Through our work we celebrate the people of California. We honor the traditions and ideals that make California expansive and inclusive. We provide a platform for ingenuity, generosity, and affirmation of our shared humanity. We champion those who encourage speaking freely and listening carefully.
We strive to always illuminate what we have in common rather than what divides us.
If you agree that the humanities are not a luxury, but vital to a healthy and just society, please support our work with a 100% tax deductible contribution.
