Kelly Writers House Endowment

We're especially delighted to celebrate the people and organizations that have contributed thus far to our endowment. Thank you, patrons of the Kelly Writers Endowment—gifts such as yours ensure that this dynamic program space and meeting place for writers and readers continues to grow and thrive! We are grateful for your enthusiasm, encouragement and support, and honored to describe your gifts here.

Anyone can make a gift to our Possibility Fund – a gift of any size will support the Writers House now and in the future. You can make a gift online to our Possibility Fund here.

The Possibility Endowed Fund

The Possibility Endowed Fund supports all the activities of the Writers House. Its capaciousness reflects the founding principles of the Writers House as a House of Possibility: a place for intellectually adventurous initiatives, collaborative work, and a learner-centered approach. Anyone can contribute to the Possibility Fund in any amount to help ensure the permanence and sustainability of the Writers House.

Endowed Funds

Thanks to generous Friends, we have a wide range of endowed programs and projects at the Writers House.

Why Endowment?

Endowment gifts to the Kelly Writers House help us establish funding last forever. An endowment gift guarantees financial support for projects, programs, position, or prize for as long as there is a Writers House; and helps us ensure that future generations will have a Writers House of their own.
