This year marks the 28th year of The Writers Grotto and its second since becoming a nonprofit. With this transition, we've been able to explore and renew our efforts to grow our writing community. Over the past year your support has helped us:

• Host a successful Rooted & Written conference, the first fully-funded, tuition-free professional writing conference for writers of color in the country.
• Hold several Reading + Meeting events, where members share their latest work with the public.
• Launch a new website.
• Subsidize memberships and office spaces for select members to make our community more inclusive.
• ...and much more!

Your support helps us fulfill our mission to build a community of working writers and narrative artists who connect in physical and virtual spaces, pooling our talents to support each other, mentor and teach others, and engage the wider world. The Writers Grotto fosters a literary culture that is generous in spirit and deeply inclusive, elevating writers of all backgrounds.

Please consider donating to The Writers Grotto this Giving Tuesday. We're excited to see what the next year brings, and hope that we can count on your support to continue to grow our community.
