Please Donate
|
If you are making end-of-the-year donations, please consider supporting The Muse today or at any time. All donations are tax deductible and your generosity will help us to continue our mission to support the literary community, especially important as we navigate and adapt during coronavirus: 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 300 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 12,000 adults, teens, and kids yearly. And we're expanding our outreach to senior living communities, youth, and military & veterans groups--even in this time of COVID-19.
