SEVERAL WAYS TO SUPPORT US


A Tax-deductible donation

We believe in sustainable, ethical practices that help contribute to a healthy socio-economic environment, which is why all donations will go directly towards compensating facilitators and emerging librarians fairly for their work and time. We also plan to support their health costs where applicable.

Your donation will also support:

  • Publishing costs, though those costs are mostly self-sustaining as items are sold and the funding goes directly back into the projects.

  • Operating costs associated with space and technological expenses.

  • Translation! We’d like to have the entire website and all printed materials translated.

  • Interpretation at all of our events. This is costly though, so we’re looking for specific grants that could make this happen.

We thank you for any tax-deductible amount you can contribute.

 

DONATE BOOKS


If you would like to donate a favorite poetry book or one you wrote that you don't see in our catalog, please do contact us at info@alternativefield.com. 

 

Volunteer


There's no better way to make an impact than to become an active advocate yourself. Come out and spend a few hours or a few days or a few months with us. We can use help cataloging or with various other stuff related to poetry.
