The mission of the Alaska Humanities Forum is to use the humanities to tell stories and impact the lives of all Alaskans.
The Forum is a 501(c)(3) organization. Founded in 1972 by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Forum is one of 56 state and territorial groups also supported by the NEH. The Forum is also a member of the Federation of State Humanities Councils.
The Alaska Humanities Forum engages Alaskans in humanities-based projects and innovative programs which are either funded by the Forum or run directly by the Forum. Our major programs are:
Grants Program
Alaska History and Cultural Studies High School Curriculum
Leadership Anchorage
Sister School Exchange
Educator Cross-Cultural Immersion
Take Wing Alaska
C3 Project
These programs serve the Forum’s mission by:
1. Funding numerous independent projects and programs based in the humanities within Alaska.
2. Building bridges of understanding between Alaska’s urban and rural peoples.
3. Researching, preserving, celebrating and sharing Alaska's rich history and cultural traditions.
4. Strengthening the foundations of civil society in Alaska.
5. Selecting and preparing diverse people from Anchorage, Mat-Su and Fairbanks for leadership roles in their communities.
