New Hampshire Humanities
2022 Goals:
In 2022, our mission of connecting people with inspiring and challenging ideas of the human experience will be realized as we expand programs and access for Granite Staters from all sectors, communities, walks of life, income levels and of all ages. Our programs will reflect the voices of those whose stories have not been accurately represented throughout history, and we’ll continue to expand our capacity to bring live and virtual programs such as our Humanities to Go speakers bureau, the Connections book discussion program, Community Project Grants, and Humanities@Work, to bring the humanities to life while making programs accessible for citizens in every corner of the state.
Fundraising Events:
New Hampshire Humanities’ Annual Celebration, whether live or virtual, has been our sole fundraising event and allows New Hampshire Humanities to stay true to our mission of providing free and low-cost public humanities programs for people of all ages and from all walks of life, in every community across the state. By purchasing a ticket to or sponsoring the Annual Celebration, you’ll be directly supporting quality humanities and helping ensure they remain accessible to all.
Giving Opportunities:
Supporting the work of New Hampshire Humanities helps fund programs that explore what it means to be a Granite Stater, an American, a citizen of the world, a lifelong learner. Donations to the Annual Fund through a one-time gift or as a monthly sustaining donation funds programs for people of all ages and in every corner of the state. We offer a number of customizable sponsorship opportunities that offer outstanding exposure before 20,000 individuals. Naming New Hampshire Humanities as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, retirement fund or other estate plan ensures that excellence in the humanities continues long into the future.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Volunteers are invited to participate in our live and virtual public programs around the state and spread the word by sharing photos and writing about our programs. New Hampshire Humanities relishes input from a wide range of supporters – tell us your “humanities story” or attend a program and write a short reflection we can publish on social media or in our publications.
