The American Council of Learned Societies is a private non-profit federation of sixty-eight national scholarly organizations. The mission of the ACLS, as set forth in its Constitution, is "the advancement of humanistic studies in all fields of learning in the humanities and the social sciences and the maintenance and strengthening of relations among the national societies devoted to such studies."

The Council consists of a fifteen-member Board of Directors and one Delegate from each constituent society. An elected Board of Directors establishes and reviews policies, sets strategic directions, oversees the investment of endowed funds, and reports on all major decisions to the constituent societies. The Council holds an Annual Meeting, elects officers and members of the Board of Directors, provides general and fiscal oversight, and, assisted by the Executive Committee of the Delegates, admits new members. The principal administrative officer of each society participates in the Conference of Administrative Officers (CAO).

The ACLS is supported by income from endowment, dues from constituent societies and affiliates, contributions from university and college associates, private and public grants, government contracts, and private gifts.
