Endowments
We are not, as the Beatles put it, a registered charity, but we are hardly a for-profit concern, either. We rely on private donations.
If you would like to help, we will accept.
Either a $5, $10, $25 or more, one time donation to help pay for poetry or a short story, or an art contribution.
Whatever you give, if you give, will go to fund paying creative contributors and generally improving the quality of this magazine.
