Utah Humanities is a nonprofit organization based in Salt Lake City, founded in 1975 as an independent agency dedicated to advancing communities through active engagement with the humanities. Its work spans the state, aligning with libraries, historical societies, museums, local arts and humanities councils, civic and service groups, public media outlets, educational institutions, and local government partners. The organization is not a state agency and operates as a statewide humanities intermediary, connecting diverse institutions and audiences through programs and collaborations. Its programs are designed to foster public dialogue and civic participation around humanities topics, including grants and technical assistance to nonprofit groups, small grants to scholars, speaker services for public forums, a circulating library, and an annual book festival. Utah Humanities also partners with other cultural and educational leaders to develop joint projects and services. In 2024, the organization began collaborating with Park City Library to host book signings and family-friendly events, illustrating its ongoing statewide partnerships.
