Rhode Island Humanities is a Rhode Island-based nonprofit organization that supports and strengthens public history, cultural heritage, civic education, and community engagement for residents of the state. As the state’s dedicated source of funding for public humanities, it funds museums, libraries, historic sites, schools, preservation groups, community and cultural organizations, researchers, and filmmakers to bring Rhode Island’s stories to life and amplify diverse local voices. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and collaborates with a national network of humanities councils established to promote humanities-inspired public projects and programming. Founded in 1973 as the Rhode Island Committee for the Humanities, it has evolved to its current name and continues to serve Rhode Island through program development and targeted initiatives. Based in Providence, the organization engages a broad range of cultural and educational institutions, aiming to foster public understanding and civic participation through humanities-focused activities and outreach. A recent trajectory includes strategic planning and DEIA work, with notable activity such as launching public-facing initiatives and maintaining a bilingual commitment to accessibility for Rhode Island communities.
