We Need Your Help
Last year, you helped The Muse Writers Center raise more than $20,000 to support our programming and outreach programs. This year, as we embark on a broader plan to strengthen our connections in the community, we need to raise an additional $25,000 by the end of the year.
|
Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. And if you can possibly increase your gift from last year, you can help ensure we meet our increased goal. And now, contributions can count toward our New Muse Membership Program (and they can be set as a one-time donation or broken up into monthly payments) or you can make a donation to a specific program (just scroll down to "Become an Investor").

Did you know? We offer nearly 300 classes and serve more than 1,500 students (from age 6 to post-retirement) each year. We provide more than $28,000 in tuition assistance to nearly 600 students, and we helped send 4 people to college this year through scholarships. The Muse gives writers a voice, organizing readings, open mics, and writers events that reach more than 16,000 adults, teens, and kids yearly. And we're expanding our outreach to senior living communities, youth, and military & veterans groups. Your support will enable us to continue our mission to support the vibrant literary community in Hampton Roads and beyond.
