a collage of PA Humanities staff, board members, and Pennsylvania lawmakers meeting during Humanities on the Hill
Humanities on the Hill is an annual opportunity for humanities councils from across the nation to travel to Washington, D.C., meet with lawmakers and ask for their support for funding the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). This month our team of board and staff spoke with a record 16 out of 17 House congressional offices and both Senators, sharing about our latest PA CultureCheck research, the significant humanities funding in their districts and why they should support funding the NEH.

From The Field

We believe in contributing our learnings to the larger conversation about the role of the humanities in creating lasting change. We put participatory research at the forefront of all our work and partner with scholars, consultants, and a cross-sector of leaders including University of Pennsylvania’s PennPraxis, Elizabeth Myrick + Associates, and Allegheny Intermediate Unit.
