Maryland Humanities is a statewide, educational nonprofit that creates and supports educational experiences in the humanities that inspire all Marylanders to embrace lifelong learning, exchange ideas openly, and enrich their communities. Part of the network of 56 state humanities councils throughout the country, Maryland Humanities shares the joy and power of discovery through impactful educational programs that reach nearly half a million Marylanders each year. Our programs, like One Maryland One Book and Maryland History Day, use the humanities to foster understanding among people with diverse perspectives and to strengthen our ability to interact meaningfully. Discover and explore the rest of our programs, including grants, a letter-writing contest for students, and a traveling museum exhibition through our partnership with the Smithsonian Institution, on mdhumanities.org.
