Indiana Humanities is launching a new fund it says will allow for future grants and programming throughout the state. The Indiana Humanities Future Fund is being established in recognition of the organization’s 50th anniversary.
The organization said in a news release the fund will support the development of “innovative and meaningful grantmaking and public programming” to reach more Hoosier communities.
It will also help support the development of Indiana Humanities’ next statewide theme, which is set to focus on citizenship and democracy as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Indiana Humanities is a nonprofit that uses history, literature, philosophy and ethics, world languages and cultures, religious studies, archaeology and other disciplines in an effort to help Hoosiers tackle difficult questions.
“The humanities inspire, engage and enrich us. They help us understand our past, envision our future and consider ourselves as individuals and as members of communities,” Chris Gahl, Indiana Humanities board chair and executive vice president for Visit Indy, said in written remarks. “We know how important this work is, and we want to continue helping Hoosiers connect, converse and learn from one another well beyond the next 50 years.”
