Loft Members Make the Difference
During these uncertain times, one thing is absolutely clear: Loft members make the difference by helping us brave this storm. Your essential support ensures our haven for readers and writers (whether virtual or in-person) goes on.
In this tumultuous time, our creativity pours out. Our voices have power. Our collective and individual stories must be told. Make a gift today to sustain this vital community for stories.
As a Loft member, your financial contribution is considered a tax-deductible donation. While a contribution of any size welcomes you to our member community and many benefits, gifts of $60 or more or sustaining memberships qualify you for additional perks like discounts on classes and events.
