We're almost half-way there!!!
With almost 8 hours remaining, we're almost half-way to our goal. Through our efforts on multiple platforms, and with the assistance of gracious fundraising partners, we're moving closer to reaching our $10,000 fundraising goal.
Additionally, we want to thank all of our donors who are getting their donations matched by their employers. Every dollar makes a difference.
This Giving Tuesday, Words Beats and Life is dedicating our fundraising efforts to support our DMV poetry programming. This is also the day that we're launching our newest initiatives: Arlington Youth Poet Laureate and Montgomery County Youth Poet Laureate.
For the past six years, Words Beats and Life has been entrusted with leading the effort for the DC Youth Poet Laureate program. During this time, we've encountered a multitude of talented poets spread across the DC metro area. These artists inspired us to expand our program to bring more of the area's talent to the forefront.
If you aren't already aware, the DC Youth Poet Laureate program is part of a National program organized by Urban Word NYC. WBL supports the winner of the title by backing their work representing DC, publishing their book of poetry, covering the cost of their tour during National Poetry month, and aiding and supporting them as they compete for the title of National Youth Poet Laureate.
Your donation today will help us not only fund our DC Youth Poet Laureate program, but also establish our newest Poet Laureate programs - Arlington and Montgomery County.
We have partnered with Double the Donation to enable our donors to increase the impact of their donation with ease. Click on the link below to search for your employer and see if they will match your donation.
