What we’re about
Since 1972, NJCH has partnered with statewide and community organizations to bring meaningful public humanities programming to the local level. Together, we explore what makes us human and celebrate the lives, places, and histories that knit us together as New Jerseyans.
As a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities, NJCH is the liaison between the federal government and local humanities organizations. In this role, we are responsible for ensuring both that federal humanities support makes a meaningful impact for the people of New Jersey and that New Jerseyans' interests are represented at the state and federal levels.
We support the New Jersey humanities community in three primary ways:
by awarding grants and sponsorships
by providing direct programs and services, and
by convening individuals and organizations that care about cultural and civic life in the Garden State.
