Thank you for helping us cultivate community and access to poetry across the borough and beyond by supporting our end-of-year fundraising campaign. Your donation will help support:

Operational costs for our space at 144 Montague, including our free community groups and events
Fellowships for our workshops and annual Poetry Festival
Financial aid for our Mentorship Program and craft labs
Honorariums to continue bringing world-class poets to our stage
The recovery of unexpected expenses due to a recent break-in at our space

In the past year alone, we held 70 workshops, serving 634 students—including 54 fellows and 60 fellowship finalists. We also hosted over 60 events for 3,000+ attendees with, as a conservative estimate, over 800 poems shared on our stage. You can learn more about these, and the individuals that make up our community, on our website.

Thank you!
