Join Us in Championing the Humanities

Kentucky Humanities believes in the power of storytelling, history, and culture to educate, inspire, and strengthen our communities. The humanities connect us to our past, help us understand our present, and shape our future. With your support, we can continue to bring engaging programs, cultural initiatives, and educational resources to all Kentuckians.

 

Why Advocacy Matters

Funding and support for the humanities are crucial for preserving Kentucky’s unique heritage, fostering critical thinking, and providing enriching experiences for people of all ages. Advocating for Kentucky Humanities means ensuring that schools, libraries, museums, and community organizations have the resources they need to continue their vital work.

 

How You Can Advocate for the Humanities

  1. Contact Your Representatives
    Our representatives in Washington, D.C., need to hear from their constituents about the importance of funding for humanities programs. Reach out to your federal delegates and express your support for continued investment in the National Endowment for the Humanities and Kentucky Humanities. A list of Kentucky Senators and Representatives is below.

  2. Stay Informed
    Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media to stay updated on advocacy opportunities, upcoming events, and news related to the humanities in Kentucky.

  3. Share Your Story
    Personal stories have power. If a Kentucky Humanities program has impacted your life or your community, share your experience. Your testimony can be a compelling argument for continued support.

  4. Donate 
    Financial contributions allow us to sustain and expand our programs. Consider making a donation to directly support our mission.

  5. Engage Your Community
    Organize Kentucky Reads book discussions, host Kentucky Chautauqua® or Speakers Bureau events, or participate in local humanities projects. Raising awareness within your community helps build a stronger network of advocates.

 

Every Voice Matters

Together, we can ensure that the humanities continue to thrive in Kentucky. Your voice, your actions, and your support make a difference. Join us in advocating for the history, literature, and culture that enrich our Commonwealth.
