đź’› Your gift opens the door for a poet.
Sponsor a spot for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.Â
Our goal: Sponsor 10 poets.Â
How it Works:
1. You give.
A gift of $250 provides one full workshop registration for a poet with financial need.
2. We match your sponsorship with an applicant.
Writers apply through a simple form, and we distribute sponsored spots on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. A poet joins the workshop because of you.
You'll receive a short confirmation when your sponsorship has been assigned. No personal details are shared unless the recipient chooses to share them.
