Office of Federal/State Partnership

****The Office of Federal/State Partnership is the liaison between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the nonprofit network of state and jurisdictional humanities councils.**** Fed/State provides general operating support awards to the states and jurisdictions in order to bring humanities education, lifelong learning, and public humanities programming to communities across the country. Fed/State collaborates with designated state and jurisdictional humanities councils to advance public understanding of the humanities, while enhancing public awareness of, access to, and support for the humanities on a local, grassroots level. The council community helps the National Endowment for the Humanities realize its two primary strategic goals of advancing knowledge and understanding of the humanities and increasing public awareness of, access to, and support for the humanities throughout the United States.
