Illinois Humanities - Invidious

Illinois Humanities

Illinois Humanities is a statewide nonprofit organization that activates the humanities through free public programs, grants, and educational opportunities that spark conversation, foster reflection, build community, and strengthen civic engagement for everyone in Illinois.

Founded in 1974, we are the state partner for the National Endowment for the Humanities and our vision is an Illinois where the humanities are central to making the state more just, creative, and connected.
