Wyoming Humanities is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting public humanities programs across Wyoming. Based in Laramie on the University of Wyoming campus, with a field office in Jackson, the council distributes grants and designs programs that draw on history, literature, philosophy, languages, and related disciplines to foster community conversation and critical thinking. Its activities include conferences, exhibits, publications, workshops, and lecture series, as well as national and statewide initiatives such as Humanities Forum, Reading Wyoming, and Museums on Main Street. The organization operates with a small staff and a volunteer board empowered to oversee budgeting, fundraising, and strategic direction, while funding projects carried out by partner organizations as well as through its own programming. The council serves as the state’s sole nonprofit public humanities entity, aiming to support an informed and engaged citizenry through a broad array of humanities-focused community programs.
