Humanities New York is excited to present our Post-Incarceration Humanities Partnership (PIHP) grantees of 2023! Over the next four months, HNY will spotlight the sixteen organizations that make up the 2023 PIHP cohort.
PIHP is an annual grant that provides support to New York State-based organizations that serve previously incarcerated individuals and their families. PIHP aims to recognize the importance of and support these organizations and their work; explore humanities-based techniques to programming through workshops and discussion; and convene grantees in order to share experiences and engage with new resources.
