Since 1975, Humanities New York has enriched the lives of New Yorkers. Grants awarded to cultural organizations and graduate students have resulted in immeasurable contributions to the state’s reputation as a global center for culture and knowledge. Supported by HNY, luminaries such as James Baldwin, Oliver Sacks, and Ken Burns have left an indelible imprint on society.
Programs hosted by HNY and grantees continue to change lives and transform communities. Take a look at our impact in 2024:
New Yorkers served through six grant–lines and related events
Awarded across all ten regions of the state
Grants given to local non-profits

In May 2024, we invited leaders from organizations receiving the Post-Incarceration Humanities Partnership (PIHP) Grant— generously made possible through the support of the Mellon Foundation—to an all-day convening. Catch a glimpse of the incredible day via Youtube.
