Support Ohio Humanities


Thank you for supporting the humanities in Ohio! Your gift helps Ohio Humanities share stories, spark conversations, and inspire ideas in all 88 counties. We rely on individuals like you to host programs and award grants that support storytellers statewide, from museums to journalists to documentary filmmakers.

As a supporter of Ohio Humanities, you know the power of Ohio's stories. They give us a deeper understanding of what Ohio is, was, and could be. They remind us of who we are and what we love and worry about living here. They connect us as engaged Ohioans, informed citizens, and empathetic humans.

Thank you for making a gift to Ohio Humanities and supporting Ohio’s stories.

Fill out the form below to make a one-time or recurring donation. Recurring donations allow us to plan and better support our partner organizations. Whatever you can give today, we are grateful for your donation!

Ohio Humanities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your gift is tax-deductible.

Every gift matters. Thank you for being a part of the story.
