Membership Opportunity Grants

Opportunity grants (on a first-come, first-served basis) are available to members in good standing for help – up to $100 – for attendance at a workshop, to take a class, or to attend a poetry festival or residency. A portion of that grant may be used to cover transportation expenses. Grants are to be issued solely for the purposes of defraying the costs of attending conferences or writing experiences, taking classes or courses, whether online or face-to-face. Grant money is not for purchase of materials or products, contest submissions, etc. other than for computer software needed to access an online course. These grants are designated for actual educational experiences for our members. You can download a Membership Opportunity Grant Application and guidelines from our website (see below).
