During the summer of 2020, immersed in uncertainty, fear, and isolation by the onset of Covid, horror at the murder of George Floyd, and flat-lined by the divisiveness of the elections, we dreamed of Make Good. We wanted to build space for artists - specifically Black women - to dream, nurture community, create art and engage in authentic self-care.

We are very proud to say that this seed of an idea has been nurtured into a beautiful sapling. We are budding a grove. Germinating a forest. At Make Good we strive to be fully engaged with the world - balancing art-making, work, family AND taking time to hydrate, meditate, and move our bodies. Above all else, we want to make good things: art, people, communities. And make good on our potential to build a more creative and connected world.

Your donations help us to fund our programs, which are free to all participants:

Do the Write Thing - our monthly drop in session in the UWS/Harlem.
In the Write - our cohort writing program to develop new work.
Write Here, Write Now - our annual retreat that draws inspiration from, and gives workshops to the communities that we visit.
Write on Time - our monthly newsletter.
Write Club - our weekday 5-6 am Zoom accountability meetup.
The Make Good Project Substack - the platform where our writers can publish their work to a larger community and take on the mantle of "published writer."
PlayMates - our audience development program with NYC theaters.

We also offer pop-up programming and are always considering ways to serve our constituency robustly and with joy.

DAF!
