Community Powered programming will resume in 2026!
After Wisconsin Humanities lost all federal funding in early 2025, we paused Community Powered programming. But we’re happy to say Community Powered will be returning in 2026! It may look a little different, but the spirit of the program remains–we hope to build capacity for Wisconsin communities to connect through culture.

Making a Difference
Community Powered is an initiative that builds resilience among Wisconsin communities. We serve to help communities recognize, communicate, and act upon their strengths, their challenges, and their histories to envision a vibrant future.
Residents of participating Wisconsin communities experience new ways to unearth and tell stories of their communities while taking concrete steps toward making their hometowns better places to live.
