We are making a second request to you because your
employer has a matching gift program. A matching gift will increase your
support and strengthen our mission. Please consider making a
tax-deductible donation today.
In 2007, we featured an impressive array of
literary talents: Chimamanda Adichie, winner of the 2007 Orange Broadband
Prize; Suheir Hammad; Walter Mosley; and Patricia Smith, winner
of the 2007 Paterson Poetry Prize among others. We dedicated an entire
issue to the living legacy of Gwendolyn Brooks, the first African American
to win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. The issue featured the writings of
Kalamu ya Salaam, Asali Solomon, Afaa Michael Weaver, and Haki Madhubuti. In
other issues we interviewed literary legends, Lucille Clifton, winner of
the 2007 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize and William Demby, 2006 winner of The
Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Lifetime Achievement Award. Our ambition is to
support and critique work produced by writers of African and Latino descent.
Under the auspices of the Literary Freedom Project, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt
arts organization, which publishes Mosaic, we've been able to
secure grant money, which helps defer some costs. But we need your support.
Besides marking our 10th anniversary, this upcoming year will hold
unimagined promise: a continued commitment to literature and poetry; a
citywide reading series, which will culminate with a literary festival;
and the creation of an education program that will use each issue of Mosaic
as the basis for a new literary arts curriculum for high school
students.
With such an ambitious agenda your support is crucial.
Please take a quick moment to click the appropriate link below and donate
the amount of your choice. Through your employer's matching gift program you
can double your tax-deductible support and make it possible for the Literary
Freedom Project to expand its programming.
Thank you
