CPC Donation Request

We are asking you to donate whatever you can to the Colorado Poets Center to help us continue the exciting work from the last few years.

Your donation of $30 helps us add one new poet to the site. We now have 276 poets on our site, adding 12-15 new poets each year.
Your donation of $50 helps us pay one poet to feature in our Tuesday night readings. 40 CPC poets were featured at the Boulder Bookstore or the R Gallery in 2023 and 2024
Your donation of $50 helps us publish one electronic issue of The Colorado Poet newsletter.We have now published 10 quarterly issues, and we pay Kathy Winograd to interview 10 Colorado poets a year.
Your donation of $50 helps us pay one poet to read at community events. David Rothman read for a Western Slope Poet Laureate event in Montrose in 2023. Uche Ogbuji read at a Casa de Paz fundraiser in Denver on May 9, 2024. Sheryl Luna and Crisosto Apache will read at an ACLU Colorado fundraiser on October 17, 2024.
Your donation of $25 funds one poet at one of our webinars; $150 funds a webinar event in its entirety. We sponsored three poetry webinars led by Wendy Videlock in 2023.
Your donation of $300 funds an entire mini-conference, with 5-8 poets reading works related to a specific theme, all available on the CPC website. We sponsored three such events in 2022 and 2023, each organized by a CPC poet. Colorado Asians: A Poetry Event, led by art curator Jane Burke, held in conjunction with the Colorado Asian art exhibit at the Artworks Center for Contemporary Art in Loveland. Remembrance of the Holocaust, led by Judyth Hill. LGBTQ+ Poetry Reading, led by Serena Chopra.
Your donation of $75 funds a first-place poetry award for a high school student at Greeley West. $50 funds a second-place award. 43 students taught by 10 teachers submitted poems in 2024 and 14 students won awards.

We have accomplished this previous work with multiple donations from the Franklin and King families, with donations made in remembrance of CPC poet, Bennet Joan Harmony Nieberg, and thanks to a few other individual donors. These have helped us initiate projects, but we now need stable and sustainable funding for CPC activities. Please help us with a donation. Any amount helps.
A donation link is found on the CPC website homepage.
