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:
- 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.
- You
could also send a check.
Make it payable to our fiscal sponsor "Intersection for the Arts."
Please mention Green Windows on the memo line. Mail the check
to

- PO Box 10924

- 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. Send us your postcards by January 31, 2009!Green WindowsPO Box 10924Oakland, CA 94610 USA
If you would like to include a tax deductible donation, please make your check out to "Intersection for the Arts." Thanks!
This contest is open to everyone.
Thank you!!
- Lend us
your skills!
Green Windows can always use a hand with this website, proofreading,
fundraising, getting the word out, baking cookies, etc! Just let us know
you've got a hand to lend!
THANK YOU!!!
