Give before May 8, 2024 and have your donation matched!

April-May 2024 donation drive!

We’re kicking off our spring donation drive! A generous donor and longtime supporter will be matching, dollar for dollar, any funds we receive before May 8, 2024, which will be the night of our final April-May reading party and celebration of FIVE YEARS of Redbud!

We only need $325 more to fund our free personal writing class for unhoused Raleighites through Raleigh Rescue Mission!

If we raise $750 more on top of that, we will be able to fully fund a free class for writers living in a rural, low-income area of Wake County, taking place in May-June 2024.

STRETCH GOAL if we raise $2100 more, we will completely fund one of the scholarships for our year-long writing intensives.

People with trauma, from marginalized backgrounds, or who have led lives that have excluded them from the privileges of the upper middle classes often do not have access to arts education. But at Redbud, we believe that everyone deserves access to the arts, not just those who can afford it. If you donate to this drive, you will be helping someone access the cathartic, transformative tools of creative writing. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Make your tax-free donation through our fiscal sponsor, VAE Raleigh, today!
