BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO

Remember the past, imagine new possibilities, and build a shared future.

For fifty years, we have funded, convened, and partnered with organizations across New York State to bring the humanities into public life. Today, our civic infrastructure programs continue that work by creating spaces for reflection, dialogue, and collective meaning-making in communities statewide.
