During challenging times, the humanities–including history, literature, and philosophy–serve as a reminder of what makes us human and form the fabric of our society. The challenges of COVID-19 demand social distancing. This means Floridians are unable to access schools and workplaces, but museums, libraries, and historical societies also face considerable challenges.
Florida Humanities joins Federation of State Humanities Councils and the National Humanities Alliance to request emergency funding from Congress for humanities nonprofits. This funding will allow state humanities councils to make emergency grants and support the development of digital resources.
You can help in this effort by urging your Congressional representatives to include funding for the humanities sector in its COVID-19 relief package.

In the meantime, our staff members are continuing to work remotely to support humanities organizations in Florida and to continue sharing stories to inspire and inform our fellow Floridians about our shared state.
