The mission of the New York Council for the Humanities is to help all New Yorkers lead vibrant intellectual lives by strengthening traditions of cultural literacy, critical inquiry and civic engagement. Funded by federal, state and private sources, the Council is a private 501(c)3 founded in 1975 by a distinguished group of scholars, citizens and public representatives to be the voice of the public humanities in New York State. The humanities are the study and interpretation of what human beings have done and thought throughout the ages; they are the very basis of an informed and civil society. The Council’s vision is to create a vibrant, growing public humanities community that engages all New Yorkers in civic participation, volunteerism, philanthropy and community involvement and reconnects people to our rich state and local history.
