As the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, we strive to create and foster opportunities, through grants and AHF-conducted programs, for scholars and the public to interact and explore human values and meanings through the humanities.
The AHF offers the people of Alabama opportunities
to explore the humanities through
public programs such as seminars,
workshops, lectures, exhibitions,
documentary videos, and films. Founded
in 1974 as a vehicle for awarding
grants to grassroots organizations
in Alabama, the AHF now also conducts
its own programs benefiting teachers,
schoolchildren, families, and the
general public. Please familiarize
yourself with our programs and note
the positive changes taking place
throughout our state on a daily
basis.
