OUR IMPACT

How does NJCH impact the state?
  • Hundreds of thousands of citizens attend programs and events that widen their perspectives and increase their awareness of history, values, culture, and beliefs (for themselves and others)

INNOVATION FUND

The Innovation Fund is a special initiative that exists to support the conception, planning, implementation, and evaluation of NJCH humanities programs.

It focuses on ensuring seed funds for NJCH humanities offerings, especially at early stages of programming development. The creation of the Innovation Fund represents NJCH’s commitment to excellent public humanities and expanding in response to the needs of diverse audiences.  NJCH works with the Princeton Area Community Foundation to manage this fund.

ENDOWMENT FUNDS

Ensuring the continued vitality of the humanities is central to our mission. The Endowment Funds exist to provide ongoing operating funds through investment income, supporting NJCH right now and for years to come.

WHY GIVE?

In 1965, Congress established NJCH as one of 55 state Councils meant to strengthen the nation and educate its citizens. The funding that was initially designated, and continues to be disbursed based on state population, was designed to act as seed funding for Council operations but not to cover the critical growth needed to meet its goals, especially in today’s world.

Your support is more important than ever in helping us to realize the ideals written into The National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act:
