2025 Annual Report

Standing Together for the Humanities

As we reflect on 2025, it was a year that demanded resolve, creativity, and courage, as Maryland Humanities faced the sudden loss of more than half of our operating budget with the illegal termination of federal funding.

However, with the support of our community, we were able to adapt and continue serving Marylanders across the state. Our 2025 Annual Report reflects what that support made possible and the work that continues because of it. Thank you for standing with Maryland Humanities.

“Maryland Humanities creates opportunities for Marylanders to explore history, culture, and storytelling in ways that strengthen community ties and deepen civic engagement. Their programs encourage curiosity, dialogue, a sense of shared belonging, and other qualities that make communities stronger and more resilient.

BGE is proud to support an organization that expands access to meaningful experiences. Our support of the humanities is ultimately an investment in the well‐being, culture, and vitality of Maryland, and we are honored to partner with Maryland Humanities as they continue to enrich our communities.”
