Donors to the Humanities

 

May - October 2025

 

The purposes of the West Virginia Humanities Council are educational, and its mission is to support a vigorous program in the humanities statewide. We have spent the last 51 years strengthening communities, enriching our cultural economy, and honoring the people who call this state home. We could not have done it without you!

 

Our work is made possible by the generous support from federal, state, and local institutions as well as direct membership donations from individuals, organizations, and foundations. Membership renewals ensure that we can continue with this important work.

 

We’d like to extend a special thank you to the members listed below on our donor honor roll.
