Top Reasons to Donate

Are you looking for a way to donate this holiday season? Making good money for the first time in your life? Why not consider skipping a few of those Starbucks holiday drinks or that beer at the end of the night, and give to Literary Arts or another non-profit of your choice. Yup, those few skipped peppermint mochas can make a positive impact on various programs and fellowships.

Donations from $10 to $500 have a distinct, positive impact to readers and writers. For instance, $15 covers the postage and envelopes to mail awards to Oregon Literary Fellowship recipients. A few more nights in and you can make a $35 donation to send a box of poetry or books across the country to be judged for the Oregon Book Awards.

Feeling really giving? $45 supports an hour of one-on-one writing skills mentoring and $75 sponsors one student for Writers in the Schools. Larger donations of $100 would provide free copies of the Writers in the Schools Student Anthology to featured students, so they can see their hard work in print, and $1000 is enough to send a local writer into a Portland Public Schools classroom for a whole semester.

Whatever way you decide to save, your donation ensures that Literary Arts can continue to bring literature and literacy to Oregon.
