Donors

Thank you, your donation helps us change lives....  The lives of exceptional low-income children and teens who yearn to be included and empowered by a creative and intellectual community.  And it's not just about creative writing. Your donation ensures that we may continue our partnership with the Mayor's Office/NYC Service in order to bring top tier college essay and SAT support to low income, at-risk teens who are applying to college, and it ensures that we may continue our partnership with Bryant Park, offering ongoing college essay help through the entire college application process to low income, college-bound teens.
