The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Vermont Humanities Council $679,819 on June 1, 2026, under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129). The award funds the delivery of humanities programming and subawards throughout Vermont during the five-year performance period ending April 30, 2031. Vermont Humanities Council, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Montpelier, distributes federal funding to local nonprofits and cultural organizations across the state, supporting public speaker series, author residencies, early literacy programming, and other humanities initiatives tailored to Vermont's needs and interests. The award is structured as a general operating support grant, enabling the council to engage residents across Vermont through the humanities while advancing the NEH's strategic goals of expanding knowledge and public awareness of the humanities.

The council tailors its subaward-making and public programs to the needs, resources, and interests of vermont. In doing so, IT delivers on its mission - using the humanities, we connect with people across vermont to create just, vibrant, and resilient communities and to inspire a lifelong love of learning.]
