Delaware Humanities is one of 56 state and jurisdictional councils supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH): Democracy demands wisdom. Our core funding comes from the NEH, the state of Delaware’s Grant in Aid program, and generous Delawareans like you who are committed to helping us do good work.  

In 2025, our federal funding was reduced to half of our Congressional appropriation, making your donation even more important to continue our support of museums, libraries, schools, senior and community centers and more in your community.  

To continue programs, funding opportunities, and learning opportunities for Delaware’s humanities organizations, please donate now!
