From the Executive Director
We hope you will be inspired by the amazing work happening across Vermont, supported by us, but realized by you – our community.
2025 was challenging and inspiring. Despite the loss in federal funding, our community demonstrated deep support for and strong participation in our state-wide humanities work. Highlights included: funding over $400,000 in Community Grantmaking projects in all 14 counties of the state; the continued growth in popularity of Vermont Reads, celebrating its 23rd year; and the success of the Fall Festival: Resilient Patterns, which included a reading by former US Poet Laureate Ada Limon that drew an audience of nearly 800 people.
We are so grateful to our partners, participants, and donors for their steadfast commitment to the humanities in Vermont.
