Wisconsin Humanities has always worked to help Wisconsinites understand and care for one another. Today, our communities need our help more than ever to renew their civic strength through sharing stories and reconnecting.
With your help, we can ensure that in 2026 Wisconsin Humanities will:
Reopen our statewide grant program for nonprofits that build community through culture and dialogue.
Restart our Community Powered training sessions, which help local leaders strengthen civic life.
Inspire listeners statewide through new episodes of our Human Powered podcast, sharing what’s working in Wisconsin communities right now.
We hope that new federal funds will arrive. But we can’t count on it, and Wisconsin can’t wait.
Your gift today will help rebuild Wisconsin’s civic and cultural life — one conversation, one community, one connection at a time.
Since our organization's founding as an independent nonprofit in 1972, Wisconsin Humanities has worked in every corner of the state with YOU to explore what it means to be human, to be part of a democracy, and to strengthen each of our communities.
