Our Mission

The Humanities Council of Washington, DC transforms lives through the power of the humanities. As a far reaching community catalyst, we build bridges between multiple and diverse neighborhoods to affirm and enliven the human spirit, promote cross cultural understanding, enrich the quality of life, and foster intellectual stimulation.

Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and public and private partners, we support local humanities projects and Council initiated programs.

For more information please call 202-387-8391, or make an appointment to visit us during our regular office hours at 925 U Street, NW Washington, DC 20001.
