Mission
Statement
The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities (VFH) develops and supports
education, research, and public programs in the humanities. We believe
the humanities are a living, evolving part of our everyday lives and
all we do – from deciding how to vote, to understanding our
ancestors' lives, to reading a poem, to interpreting the news, to
examining the impact of science and technology, to communicating with
neighbors and strangers.
Through grants and fellowships, media productions, publications,
exhibits, and seminars, the VFH reaches a large public audience.
The VFH projects apply the various perspectives of history, literature,
philosophy, cultural and religious studies, and other fields of
the humanities to contemporary and abiding human questions. They
contribute to the interpretation and understanding of cultural traditions
and current policy debates.
