How to give your support
Would you like to help Green Windows support the creative development and authentic expression of disadvantaged youth?
There are several ways you can help:
- Write! The best way to support Green Windows' youth and community workshops is to take a writing workshop yourself!
- Donate! Green Windows is still doing most youth and community workshops for free, without any funding. Your tax deductible donation would help to pay for paper, copies, prompts, transportation and home-baked cookies. Your donation could also help with the general costs of this website, business cards, postcards, mailings, fundraising workshops, and other things that will lead to more funding! A small percentage of your donation would also be supporting Intersection for the Arts and their amazing Incubator program.
- To make a secure donation online using your credit card, please visit the website of our fiscal sponsor, Intersection for the Arts. Click on the "Donate Now" button. Fill in the donation form, and where it says "Intersection Incubator donors only. Name of recipient project" make sure to fill in "Green Windows," or they won't know to give the donation to us. Groundspring administers the online donations and will be taking 3% of your donation for their costs. Here is the link, (make sure to fill in "Green Windows"): Intersection for the Arts.
- Postcard Drive and Contest!
Send us your postcards!
Pat
Schneider, founder of the Amherst Writers and Artists method used in
all Green Windows workshops, and other senior AWA facilitators use
incredible postcard collections as prompts
to inspire very inventive writing.
Green Windows would like to develop its own collection. Gathering postcards one by one is proving to be a long and expensive process. Can you send us your postcards? The postcards bought on vacation but never sent? The postcards bought because you adored that piece of art at MOMA or the Louvre, but that sit in a drawer? The postcards you used to put up on your wall every time you moved, all through your twenties? Or the postcards you've received from others over the years? (The more embarrassing the message the better!)
The most visual striking postcard (you define "striking") and the postcard with the most interesting message/story on the back (make one up!) will both be posted on the Green Windows website in March. Winners will receive a free nine-week workshop (you can gift it!), our praise, and international recognition. Winners will be chosen (completely subjectively) in the workshops that start in February.
