The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the Massachusetts Foundation For Humanities $841,600 on June 1, 2026, under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129) to provide general operating support for public programming and grantmaking throughout Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Foundation For Humanities, doing business as Mass Humanities, serves as the state humanities council and uses this funding to create grantmaking and public programming opportunities that support people and organizations using the humanities to improve the lives of local residents across the state. The organization delivers humanities education, lifelong learning, and public humanities programming to communities throughout Massachusetts.

Performance runs through April 30, 2031. The federal grant program provides general operating support to state and jurisdictional humanities councils in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands to advance knowledge and understanding of the humanities and increase public awareness of, access to, and support for the humanities. Eligible sub-recipients applying through the state council include state and local governments, public and private nonprofit institutions, Federally recognized Native American Tribal governments, and other public institutions and organizations.
