Join Blue Stoop in supporting Philly writers by contributing to our Community Access Fund. This fund supports scholarships and transportation assistance for low-income students, free public workshops and coworking events, and capacity building for our small (but mighty!) team. We’re aiming to fundraise $10,000 by January 31, 2025. Here’s how you can help:

• Shop: You could win big! Bid on an array of fabulous auction items between now and December 20, 10 AM (ET), to support Blue Stoop. Prizes include signed books, professional guidance from agents and editors, pottery lessons, fresh flowers, gourmet foods, exciting excursions, and more. For many items, bidding starts at just $5.

• Support: Make a contribution of any amount and we’ll send you a free bundle of digital resources. Donate $50+ and you’ll receive a special invite to a hybrid author event in 2025.

• Sustain: Got a little wiggle room in your monthly budget? Deepen your impact by signing up for recurring donations. Predictable income makes it easier for us to plan ahead.

• Sponsor: Everyone deserves the chance to build their skills in a supportive environment. When donating, select one of the sponsorship tiers to provide a free seat to a low-income student in 2025. Sponsorship starts at just $75.
