Thanks to our readers, we raised over $100,000 to sustain our programs!

from “The Sweetness of Charity”

Dear Reader, 

I’m so deeply heartened to report that, thanks to the generous support of our readers, we’ve surpassed our $100,000 year-end fundraising goal!

On behalf of all of us at the Academy of American Poets, please accept our gratitude for your part in ensuring that Poem-a-Day and all of our programs are free and widely accessible.

In this challenging time, poetry offers sustenance, which in the months ahead will continue to fuel our spirits and hope.

Happy New Year!

With appreciation,

Jennifer Benka
