2024 Year-End Appeal Letter
Dear Friends of Perugia Press,
Now in its 28th year, Perugia Press continues to publish one outstanding poetry book by a woman each year. We also maintain a strong commitment to diversity and outreach. Help us celebrate our vibrant community, of which you are a part, with a donation this year.
Here are some highlights:
- The option of fee-free contest submissions to poets who are Black, Indigenous, and women of color has been a huge success.
- We partner with other organizations, such as The Care Center, which helps young mothers and women with limited financial resources go to college.
- Our monthly Emerging BIWOC Poet Spotlight is going strong. We highlight poets of color, most recently Mia Ayumi Malhotra and Dorsía Smith Silva.
Donations are an integral part of how we fulfill our mission.
This year, we are encouraging donors to consider a recurring donation. Recurring donations, of any amount, are especially helpful to our operations. For example, a donation of $10 per month would cover four fee-free submissions to our annual contest. On our donation page, choose the “Monthly” option to make a sustaining contribution.
- A donation in any amount is deeply appreciated.
- For donations of $100 or more, or for donors who sign up to give monthly at any rate, we’ll send you a copy of Joan Kwon Glass’s amazing book, Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms, winner of the 2024 Perugia Press Prize.
- All gifts to the press are tax-deductible, and you can give securely here on our website, or by sending a check made out to “Perugia Press” to P. O. Box 60364, Florence, MA 01062.
Thank you for considering a year-end gift to Perugia Press.
With gratitude,
Jean Blakeman, President of the Board
