Empower the Humanities

Your support brings the unifying power of the humanities to all Nevadans and shares Nevada’s diverse stories, histories, and cultures with people everywhere. Nevada Humanities connects and transforms communities by sharing and amplifying the stories, ideas, experiences, and traditions of the diverse people of Nevada. Since 1971, Nevada Humanities has created and funded programs that use the humanities to illuminate our diverse histories and experiences to chart a path forward in changing the world. With offices in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada Humanities’ statewide work articulates the Nevada experience, features local culture and heritage, and encourages intellectual curiosity.
