Grow Our Poetry Community Together

Help Us Grow Our Poetry Room: Fund Our Slam Prizes, Anthologies & Creative Projects!

Poetry changes lives. It builds community, amplifies voices, and creates spaces where people can be heard, seen, and valued. Our Poetry Room has been doing just that—providing a home for poets, storytellers, and creatives to gather, share, and grow. But to keep pushing forward, we need your help.

Why We’re Fundraising

Creating and sustaining a thriving poetry space isn’t just about hosting events—it’s about nurturing the ecosystem that allows poets to flourish. Here’s where your donations will make a direct impact:

Prize Money for More Slams – Competitive poetry slams are at the heart of our scene. They bring in talent, create unforgettable experiences, and help poets get paid for their art. More funding means bigger and better slams with higher prizes, attracting both emerging and established voices.

Video & Podcast Projects – We want to document and share the brilliance of our poets beyond the room. High-quality video production and podcasting will help us expand our reach, spotlight powerful performances, and preserve the stories being told on our stage.

Anthology Growth – Our goal is to publish an anthology that captures the voices from our poetry room, creating a lasting impact and giving writers a tangible way to share their work with the world.

Paying the People Who Make It Happen – Great poetry events don’t just happen. They require dedicated organizers, sound engineers, video editors, graphic designers, and more. Supporting this fundraiser means supporting the people who make our poetry community thrive.

How You Can Help

Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you’re donating $5, $50, or $500, your contribution directly fuels the art, the voices, and the movement we’re building.
