The New Hampshire Humanities Council is a private non-profit organization that strengthens New Hampshire by providing free public humanities programs in its communities. While the Humanities Council's mission is specific to New Hampshire, we are not part of the state government. We are part of a national network of Humanities Councils affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities. We rely on individual, corporate, and foundation support for our diverse programs, which foster reflection, discussion, and civil debate where people live, work, study, and play. The humanities are those fields of inquiry that explore the heart of the human experience. They help us experience and remember the power of ideas in a world where family, community, and career are in a constant state of flux. The humanities include but are not limited to literature, history, languages, ethics, philosophy, comparative religion and culture, and the interpretation of the arts.
