Humanities Kansas

About Us

Humanities Kansas connects communities with history, traditions, and ideas to strengthen civic life.

Humanities Kansas is an independent nonprofit leading a movement of ideas to empower the people of Kansas to strengthen their communities and our democracy. Since 1972, HK's pioneering programming, grants, and partnerships have documented and shared stories to spark conversations and generate insights. Together, with statewide partners and supporters, HK inspires all Kansans to draw on history, literature, and culture to enrich their lives and to serve the communities we all proudly call home.

Humanities Kansas believes that stories carry our culture and ideas change the world.
Our stories tell us who we were.
Our conversations inform who we are.
Our actions define who we will become.
