40th Anniversary Sponsorship Opportunities

A gift to HumanitiesDC is a gift to our city’s heritage and its future!
Joy Ford Austin, Executive Director

Washington, DC has a treasured cultural legacy that spans generations. HumanitiesDC is committed to supporting projects that breathe life into the unique stories of our rich communities. Through our grants programs and various partnerships throughout the city and all eight wards, HumanitiesDC offers unique financial support that affords communities, neighborhood organizations, churches, and others the chance to tell their stories through public humanities projects such as: written publications, documentary films, websites, lesson plans, tours, and much, much more.

One of the many things that makes HumanitiesDC’s funding programs unique is the close partnership between grantees and HumanitiesDC’s grants officers. These partnerships produce academically authoritative, technically polished final products that continue to benefit students, researchers, and the residents of Washington, DC that become part of the DC Digital Museum, a permanent digital archive administered by HumanitiesDC. The Digital Museum allows anyone online to access and learn about DC’s rich history and heritage now and well into the future making it an incredible public service and archival platform.

By supporting HumanitiesDC and its 40th Anniversary, you are committing your support not just to one year, but to history past, present and future.
