Make a Gift, Make a Difference

InsideOut Literary Arts Project values and empowers the voices of young writers, but our vision is incomplete without your support.

Please consider the impact you could have in helping to ignite the dreams of thousands of young writers.

Why give to IO?

A donation of any amount tells our young writers that yes, “Your story and your voice matter.” Since 1995, IO has built a reputation as Detroit’s premiere literary arts education nonprofit, by placing professional writers in Detroit classrooms, publishing students’ work in exquisitely crafted literary journals and training students to bravely share their work on stage. With your help, the IO model of making words matter will reach 10,000 students annually by 2016.

As we tell our students, there are numerous ways to engage the page. Here are a few simple ways to trumpet your support:

  • $2,500 CLASS ACT: supports one InsideOut classroom for an entire year.
  • $1,000 SLAM CHAMPION: sponsors one Citywide Poet for a full year of workshops, readings and public performances.
  • $500 PAGE TURNER: supports the publication of one school’s literary magazine.
  • $120 LYRIC LOVER: provides one student with 25 sessions of InsideOut instruction.
  • $50 FREE VERSE FRIENDS: provides one classroom with creative supplies and materials.
Or to give to InsideOut through the mail, send your check to:
