About the New Jersey Council for the Humanities

The New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a nonprofit organization, was
established in 1972 as the state partner of the National Endowment for
the Humanities. Its mission is to develop, support and promote projects
that explore and interpret the human experience, foster cross-cultural
understanding and engage people in dialogue about matters of individual
choice and public responsibility. It is funded primarily by the National
Endowment for the Humanities, with additional support from private
funders and, in some years, the State of New Jersey.
