Using the humanities, we connect with people across Vermont to create just, vibrant, and resilient communities and to inspire a lifelong love of learning.

To better support public humanities work across Vermont, we have exponentially grown the amount of money we distribute to Vermont non-profits and other organizations through our grants programs.

For the 23rd year of the Vermont Reads program, we invite Vermont communities to plan projects centered around The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton.

Please note: in November we received a second shipment of 1500 more copies of The Light Pirate. We will accept applications for Vermont Reads 2025 until June 30, 2026, or until all of our books have been claimed.
