Save the Humanities in North Dakota
On April 2, 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—officials who have never set foot in North Dakota and don't understand our values—abruptly cut off our core federal funding. This was done with no warning, no consultation, and no understanding of the life-changing programs we provide.
What’s At Risk
Without federal funding, we may lose:
-
We the People – Civics education for students and teachers
-
Public University – Free and low-cost college-level classes for adults
-
Brave Conversations – Cross-partisan dialogue for divided times
-
One Book One North Dakota – A statewide reading experience
-
Chautauqua – Living history performances and civic discussions
These are the programs that make North Dakota stronger, more informed, and more connected.

You Can Make a Difference
Humanities North Dakota has served thousands of North Dakotans in the past two years with accessible programming. The majority of our programs are free to the public; the rest are low-cost.
With federal funding abruptly cut, we’re relying on supporters like you to keep our programs alive—civics education, lifelong learning, and public conversations that reach thousands across the state. Every dollar you give helps ensure that North Dakotans continue to have access to the humanities, no matter where they live.
